Mike Williams Wide Receiver for the Orange is a No-Go

Sorry I didn't write yesterday... I was on sabbatical from myself.  If you were me, you'd need the time off too.

Link in the title.  Here's the breakdown: this article has a few bits of stories.  The one I'm focusing on is Mike Williams and his no-go at Syracuse.  Basically, this guy is a great talent.  He is one of ten finalist for some award that to the common man means shit but to him and the rest of the football universe, is kind of a big deal.  This guy, however, doesn't give a shit about school.  He was academically suspended and probably is similar trouble as we speak so he's basically gone from college ball.

Here's my take: we need to start caring more about academics with similar intensity as we do about sports.  If a guy or gal can play and is successful, we tend to forget about what really is important that a collegiate athlete has two responsibilities: grades and sports.  We should not allow this guy to go to the next level.  We should send a message that if you want to be part of something greater you must earn it.  I'm sure he works his balls off in the gym and on the field.  But by reading his response that he posted on twitter, he doesn't give a shit about school.  Don't reward this guy with a 7 or 8 figure contract, make him earn it by being a productive member of society on both fronts.  The worst part is this d-bag is going to procreate and and spread his message to a new generation.  That's our fucking loss if we condone and support it.
