I worked in the dorm system when I was an undergrad, and dealt with a ton of football players and coaches. Seeing how the sausage is made makes one very cynical about college sports, or the big ones anyway.

I'm also a WSU grad (Go Cougs!) and was at WSU during the Drew Bledsoe days. I had tickets to the games for my freshman year but got completely turned off to college sports when I watched the Astroturf going in while all us engineering students had to donate a ream of paper each to math and engineering departments...
