UGA's problem is mostly around alcohol, weed, or women (i know, most peoples problems, right?). UGA players aren't kicking military guys in the head when knocked out, they aren't firing assault rifles in public, etc. Also, other than failing a drug test for weed, or just admitting to it (JHC), the main problem is ALCOHOL!! Downtown athens should be off limits to all football players, as it seems to be the main thing to get you in trouble. You get drunk and act like a fool, and stupid shite can happen.

If Athens wasn't such a great college town, then this wouldn't happen as much.

That's inhumane. I'm willing to deal with the suspensions if the alternative is stripping people of that experience.

Seriously though, the effect that that would have on recruiting would be much worse than any problems we currently face.

I was Downtown recently and the bars were infested with football players, and people were buying them drinks and treating them like royalty. You take a kid who's from Adel, GA and treat him like that, he's gonna believe that he's bullet-proof. Problem is some athletes generally don't have the responsibility of studying like real students. So they can party like their hair's on fire. Then they go home and beat whoever's there. Athens is a victim of it's own success.
