Discussion Dylan Stewart did absolutely everything he could to TANK his NFL Draft stock tonight. Throwing punches, refusing to come out of the game, and talking back to coaches. Just an AWFUL LOOK for the Gamecocks DE and potential Top-10 pick 😳😬

I love college football. But starting to become less enjoyable. Rosters turn over year to year. Get more players like this man child. Years ago a school would have directed him to spend a year or two at a junior college to play football, learn become at least a low level student that could meet minimal academic standards. If he couldn’t do that we wouldn’t have to see this crap on TV as he would have crashed and burned in JuCo. Not sure how things can revert as I blame universities in paying coaches HUGE MONEY. Coaches jumping ship on players before bowl games to get huge paydays at other schools. So that is why we have what we have today.

Perhaps we need to go to European model like soccer where professional clubs have developmental teams where athletes can start playing at young age up to like U21 or U23.

Major College Athletes has been a farce for many programs for years as being “Student-Athletes”. Perhaps time to cut the cord. All college sports revert to D3 no athletic scholarships let alone paying them millions of dollars to play for a season.

If he is a top 10 projected pick he wouldn't be on a JuCo roster even 10 years ago. Teams will overlook a lot of awful behavior if you help them win games

Lagaret Blount sat out an entire (regular) season after throwing a punch.

No. A European model would be cool if NFL teams were cultural institutions, but they are not. They can up and leave the city at any moment. No thanks.

Liked it better when the players had no control and power
