[QUOTE="ectofrog, post: 791155, member: 4915"] No one SHOULD tell others what they SHOULD care about. I care a little, from the perspective that I think a lot of the kids who wind up going there are brainwashed to a certain extent, and they make agreements about how they're going to act when they're 18, sometimes 16 or 17 years old, that they're expected to keep for years. That the expectations of them are unreasonable matters...specifically because a 17 or 18 year old kid doesn't have a concept of how long 4-7 years is. A kid, especially one like Davies, who doesn't share the moral belief structure behind BYU's rules in the first place, can easily get in over his head when signing this stuff, excited about playing ball for a fairly big-time sports school and not thinking about how long they are truly expected to go without sex, booze, tobacco, or even coffee. That said, the kids should be more choosy. If BYU's offering them, that means there are PLENTY of places they can go play ball with a scholarship. Don't go to a place run by the Mormon Gestapo and you won't be in this boat. [/QUOTE]
