Colorado Football Scandal

Jason Whitlock claims to have the answer to the drama in Boulder. He fails to realize that forbidding alcohol consumption by student-athletes would eliminate all sports at Colorado. Who would sign up to play anything when you can't drink in college? The only way that BYU gets away with it is because most of their athletes presumably take their religion seriously.

But I think Whitlock knows Colorado won't be taking his suggestion. He was really trying to comment on the problems of college drinking and he has a great point. College kids who binge drink do crazy things like try to tie up their friends with duct tape. I just hope Whitlock isn't trying to divert any responsibility from the players who committed these sexual assaults, because blaming the booze doesn't go very far.
