Is there a discipline problem in CFB?

No there's an entitlement problem and lack of respect problem in America.

Not at all. A lot of this shite is tame compared to what used to go on in the 70s, 80s, and 90s before the dawn of the internet and 24 hour news cycles. We just get to see and hear about everything that happens everywhere, now, along with all the gory details. Doesn't mean it should all go unchecked now that it has become so visible (especially considering the influence it can have on younger kids) but the actions and discipline haven't gotten worse.

It's called its a lot harder for coaches and boosters to cover it up with today's social media.

yep

There is a discipline problem in our society overall. More and more we see people challenging or disrespecting authority for whatever reason. The young black males are coming up in a society where they are not being held accountable for anything early on and that mentality of finger pointing and "its not my fault" grows bigger. It doesn't turn out well when someone finally tries to reign them in.

Football players have always been animals. My dad told me a story that happened at Bryant Hall in 1962. Coke machine took a players 15 cents and he threw the damn thing out the window.

Brother n law worked reception at Bryant Hall in the late 80s. Asst coaches told him, if you ever have a problem, call us. Don't try to handle it yourself. They will kill you.

This. When people complain about "those damn kids today" it's usually a bunch of useless hand-wringing based on nothing but a generational gap. It's like how some people will tell you that crime is so bad now when really it's been dropping for 20+ years. It's a common logical fallacy called "Rosy Retrospection" or the "Good Old Days" myth.
