Upon reading my B/R team stream today, I came upon a link that I had not read, and was shocked and appalled by the headline
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/15114869/usc-trojans-de-scott-felix-loses-ncaa-appeal-ends-college-career
Now I have a little backstory on this
This past November I had the opportunity to meet Scott, at my first ever game at the Coliseum. He had always been one of my favourite players as I admired his passion and heart for not only football but for the school. He was sort of an unsung hero for our defence, and imo should have worn the hallowed #55 at SC. He was really surprised I knew who he was and was asking for his autograph. It being after a game my dad and I struck up a conversation with him. The guy is awesome. He just had this glow to him, so proud to don the Cardinal and gold. We talked for about 20 mins after the game, and for me it was like a dream come true. One of my favorite Trojans ever was talking to me. Those 20 mins flew by. I wished him luck for the rest of the season and for his senior year. And he wished me luck for my senior year in high school. Although we only talked for 20 minutes, my dad and I could both tell he was a great guy, with his head in the right place, and with a great future ahead of him.
Why does a guy who does everything right need to be punished for an honest mistake. While guys like Cam Newton get off damn near scott free. Its not right. And quite frankly when I found out about Scott I teared up a bit, because the NCAA has their Godamn heads in their asses and can't smell the ******* roses. You are taking away the senior year of a grade A human being, whom has done several service trips, yet you put on a pedestal those who are theives and rapists.
F*** you NCAA
and Fight On Scott, you will be successful in whatever you do.
