First of all it's not a big brush because of the rise of college football free agency, which is going to explode this year, which makes college football nothing but a business and proves that academics is not even a thought for these kids. Second, my point is that football is supposed to be a team sport where you put the team first and yourself second. Not because of the fans or the coaches, but because of your brothers with whom you have bled and fought and sweated and puked and struggled through two a days. Think about those kids who practiced their tails off in the summer and stayed with the team all the way through. Do you think they enjoyed getting embarrassed on national TV? Do you think they wondered why they put in all the work and the sweat only to see their teammates abandon them to a crushing loss? Last year, when Bama was not in the playoffs, only two guys opted out. That's because Saban teaches these kids the right way and most buy in. They were committed to their brothers and they played in a meaningless bowl game. And those two guys only opted out because of injury history. Otherwise they would have played. That's what I want to see from every team. That commitment to something bigger than yourself. The desire to do what's right for the team over what's right for you. Unfortunately sacrifice is not something that kids buy into these days. And it's not just their generation. It's been this way for years. We are just now seeing the fallout from the belief that I have to do what's best for me, and screw everyone else. And it's going to get a lot worse.
