Coaches

With the recent stories that have broken out about assistant coaches taking advantage of young children as in the cases with former Penn state football defensive coordinate Jerry Sandusky and former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine. I have now reached a point, where I no longer will allow myself to watch college sports such as basketball and football. I have always never been a huge fan of college sports due to all of the stories about certain players receiving benefits O.J Mayo or taking money Reggie Bush or allowing them to get away with certain things like having someone else take your SAT test for you as in the case of Derrick Rose. This latest news of coaches taking advantage of young defenseless children is disgusting in my opinion because these young kids looked up to these people as figures of leadership and for them to use their power for such an inhumane way is evil. The reason that I will no longer follow college sports in general is due to the fact, that those university could have done something to put a stop it; in the case for Penn State where the school president was informed but instead of going to the authority, he chose to ban Sandusky from bringing children into the football building. In the case of Syracuse University, where the current men basketball head coach chose to make negative comments calling the two young boys liars and only bring this subject up now years later because they were interested in making money. Even though the head coach made an apology a day later for his comments, saying he spoke out of line without knowing all of the facts, which was true the damage was done. I have had enough of all of these college sports scandals to the point, where I will no longer follow any large schools such as the USC of football or the Kentucky of Basketball and will only focus on the smaller school that go about winning the right way.
