I disagree. She's dealing with the most academically negligent football players there are. She has to be somewhat personal with them in order to gain their trust.
She is working multiple roles as many people at small community colleges do. I honestly don't know why anyone would assume anything negative towards her.
You must not be watching what I am watching. Her behavior comes across as both loving, but overly attached. It isn't insane to think her behavior is inappropriate at times. I certainly don't know anything, but if I was her supervisor and I witnessed her interactions with the players as portrayed on the show it would cause concern to me.

That she's showing those kids that she actually cares about them and their future? 
Forgive me for thinking there are actually good people out there giving a $hit about what they do...

I could see how you might think that, but she has been doing this job for a while. She may get attached to kids that she pours a lot of effort into. She is doing what her employers are needing her to do.
I take what she is doing as sincere, and giving these kids a mother figure that is trying to keep them progressing towards their goal.
I will not criticize a person who appears to be genuine in their efforts.

We're watching the same show. You really don't understand her position within that particular institution. It is her ONLY job to get those players in the right classes and to pass the right classes to get them out of there. To do that she has to baby them like they were her own children, and that's how she views them.
It's not uncommon for teachers and supervisors to become very close with their students. I was really close with my high school math teacher because it was my weakest subject and I needed more one on one time. Same thing here. She spends so much time with all of them making sure that they get through and graduated that it's hard not to get emotionally attached.

When you work with the kind of kids she works with, from the background they come from, you can get attached to those kids when you put in that much effort to help them succeed.
She's basically serving as a surrogate mother. I think what you're mistaking for inappropriate is actually her serving in that "Mom" type role.
What interactions specifically made you think it was inappropriate?
