So true. That's why we shouldn't throw stones at other programs (most specifically Iowa and Wisconsin) when they have off-the-field problems. These guys aren't all angels, whether it's Iowa, Wisconsin, Tennessee, here or elsewhere.
It's one of the things as fans we have to come to grips with if we want to enjoy following big-time athletics, that some of these athletes don't belong in a college classroom and/or otherwise would be in jail. In essence, we are condoning it simply by paying for our tickets, making donations, etc. It's a fact.
Bottom line is, like most of society, I think most of these guys are probably pretty decent people. We just hear about the knuckleheads much more often.

.KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Three freshman Tennessee football players are charged with an attempted armed robbery.
Knoxville police say wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson and defensive backs Janzen Jackson and Mike Edwards were arrested after the early Thursday incident.
The victims told police they were in a parked vehicle near Tennessee’s campus when two men, one with a handgun, approached. The suspects demanded whatever the victims had but left empty-handed when victims showed they had no money
