First welcome to ZNO second, +1. I completely agree with you. I didn't get that he was throwing anyone under the bus when I heard that quote myself, but it's just me. Dave +1. I will say, that the "picking on 19 year old athletes" becomes the cry sometimes. Yes, college kids (having just graduated myself) can be very immature and do a lot of growing up during college. But they're also not children. College students can take a lot more criticism than people think they can, and are quite capable of handling themselves and accepting responsibility.
