I get what you're saying, but universities aren't rehab programs. Attending them is a privilege that you have to earn.

If you're concerned about the well-being of a felon, put him/her in a treatment facility. That applies to all students who cause problems like this. Guys like Taylor have no business being college students.

^^^ Truth ^^^

I never seem to understand how college football fans fail to grasp this. Why do other college football programs feel as though another football team is a rehab program that the athlete is entitled to after losing that chance at his previous university? It shouldn't take that drastic a measure to learn a lesson in the first place. Playing college sports is a major privilege that isn't afforded to just anyone and should be treated as such.

The problem is, criminals like Taylor are just the extreme example. There are TONS of athletes participating in college football and basketball who have no business being college students.

Since none of us want college athletics to be truly amateur like the Ivy League, we look the other way. But over time, it evolves. The money corrupts it ALL over time, and now we're talking about paying players and entire sports networks for a conference of schools.

I have no answer for this. All I can say is that I agree with everyone that Taylor has no business in college, but I defy anyone to come up with a clear and consistent and enforceable line of who should be able to participate.
