Big Ten Endzone

The problem with college football this time of year is exactly what you see when you look at ESPN.com’s College Football headlines.  Six out of the nine headlines have to do with the law. 

This is a problem that the NCAA needs to combat in some way.  Teams are accountable for their players, and in the case of Kellen Lewis, it’s borderline embarrassing for Indiana.  He was kicked off the team for four months, only to be reinstated, just in time for the start of camp.  I’m all for giving guys second chances, but why even suspend him for a training period. 

The NCAA might need to step in the way the NFL has.  If you haven’t noticed, with the exception of Adam Jones, NFL teams have stayed away from problem players.  I believe that the NCAA or the conferences should be suspending these players, not the money-hungry, win-at-all-cost teams.  The NCAA needs to get a grip on it, before it becomes an image problem, like the NBA.
