The big thing that so many sure fire recruits fail to do once the make it to a big division one program, is keep their noses clean. From last summer when the University of Georgia had numerous player suspended to the cheating scandal at Florida State. So many super star athletes are held to a higher standard whether or not that is fair is debatable. The issue is so many college athletes get a bad rap for others mistakes. A case in point is the recent trouble that Sergio Kindle has gotten into (all though know charges have been filed).

He fled the scene after he crashed his car into an apartment building. The issue I have is if you make a mistake own up to it. Luckily no one was hurt so this issue will most likely be brushed under the rug. Especially since he is a big time player, but what if he was the 3rd team punter. Likely he would have been suspended. But more an more big time players have been made examples of (Willie Williams).
Regardless, it is up to the responsibility of athletes today to make better decisions. Because it seems as though there is some correlation, with so many pro players getting in issues.
