Checking the News

It has been a long couple of days.  I have not had a whole lot of time to stay current.

Oh hey!  Georgia basketball is in the news:
"No means no, date rape is a serious issue.
- You don’t own your girlfriend.
- Birth control is your responsibility too.
- Never assault or intimidate a woman.
- Don’t spend all of your energy in the bed all night
- Hicky’s/passion marks should not be ever noticed by coaches
- One. Not two or three girlfriends."
Fantastic.  This is exactly the kind of document you want getting out when your head coach is struggling to recruit at a high level.

Come to Georgia, where we don't even trust you enough to stay out of your bedroom!  Literally:
"We're paying so we're inspecting. I can enter the dorm at any time."
 Sigh.  The fact that this sounds like it was written by a fourth grader is the least of my concerns.  I have no problem with policies to which your athletes must adhere, but at some point you have to treat these guys like young adults who have earned their scholarship.

With that said, there have not been many discipline issues with Mark Fox at the helm, so maybe he is on to something here.  Can I suggest one more?  "Make sure you have a license before you drive a car."
