Title: Ugly side of college baseball -- a trend begins.

UGLY TREND IN COLLEGE BASEBALL:

I watched some SEC baseball on TV this weekend.  I think it was the Alabama game when announcers started revealing an ugly trend.  Numerous college pitchers who are likely to be drafted into the majors have suddenly developed questionable injuries, allowing them to sit out the final part of the season.  I don't have any personal or specific knowledge of this, but the announcers seemed to have more than circumstantial evidence.  They mentioned it, and discussed the implications.

JUST LIKE THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WHO OPT OUT OF BOWL GAMES, EH??

Chechem it is so right. The player has taken over college football and it is not about good coaching anymore. The NCG showed what good talent could do in dropping of football if they want to. College sports are going away fast every year. RTR!

Throw in the NIL on top of it all and you've got a real debacle. That has to be reeled in with some parameters and has to be standardized nationally IMO or we've got an out of control, free for all in college sports. It has indeed gotten ugly.

It's an entitled mentality creeping into every nook and cranny of American life - certainly not just sports.  Unfortunately it's parents poisoning their children's work ethnic in many ways.

I'm going to refrain from commenting specifically on your post Doc because it is very close to being political at this point already and some around this pacle don't like political discussions.  But you're right though...

Thanks NALT!  Without even realizing it you provided everyone with a great example of the "entitled mentality" HL was referring to.  :lol2:

Well, NALT, I've certainly never known you to shy away from hard work, and you teach your clan the same.
