With Coutts at Cal, Cajuns adding grad-transfer punter from Cincinnati

No sir you are very naive. You are correct it is not the majority. I read a recent article that suggest the number of male student athletes with children is right at 30%. (The female athlete usually has to give sports up and take responsibility) I didn't say they should drop out of school. I know many people that got married in that situation, lived in married student housing and worked while in school to support their family. Football is a previldge not a right. A child is a huge responsibility and everyone should be held responsible for their own actions from day one, not year 4 after they've played ball and had others financially support their child. (I do realize my opinion does not go along with the societal flaws today of baby momma and baby daddy with no marital bond or relationship. I can not force society to do what is morally right.)

I'm sure that I'm in the minority, but as a 35 year old male, I agree with this statement. College sports are a privilege. Not sure where the issue is with being black/white and not falling into various shades of grey. Seems to me that having a kid is no grey area.

I'm not disagreeing with college sports being a privilege....but I strongly disagree with getting married because you knock someone up. Also, for many of these kids football is the only way they are going to stay in college and better their resume... Of course they could always quit and go work somewhere and struggle the rest of their lives, that is the gray area I am referring to.

OK. We were obviously raised with different morals and beliefs of what is right and wrong. Do you know how many kids are walking college campuses with the same socioeconomic back ground as these athletes? There are many avenues one can take to get through college this day and age.

Ok. You lost me what exactly are you trying to say? What does that mean? I've never heard that terminology before. I like to understand it when name caller is calling me names. Macho macho name calling man.

Get off your high horse Bicky...You have no idea my "moral" background. My catholic parents got married because it was "the right thing to do" and not because they loved each other. They no longer are able to talk to each other nor be in the same room. No marriage works if the two parties involved do not love and respect each other. Not because some priest told them they have to. Most kids are better off raised with separate parents then two people who hate and resent each other, it's common ____ing sense.

Now if you want to talk sex education or other ways to prevent so many unwed pregnancies, that is a totally different discussion.

I would think a seasoned Nutria trapper would know the terminology. And if you keep calling me a name caller, I'm gonna tell my mommy on you. Then you will see.

P.S. you were awesome with the Village People.
