Man, some of you are tough. He's the first 18 year old kid to make a mistake? It's called growing up. He wasn't a thug, didn't commit a crime, didn't get kicked out of school for being a douche, breaking rules or doing drugs....he just chose the wrong school/situation. It's not the first and won't be the last. He was offered by Stanford, the top academic school out there that plays big time football. He was sold a dream by their coaches and got caught up in it. Months later, he realized he made a mistake and is looking to correct it.
I don't know the kid personally so i think it's ridiculous to comment on a kid being weak minded or a weak punk as someone stated. Really? Get a grip, especially if you're an adult. Do you even know the kid? Maybe you are a hardheaded @ss monkey with no respect for others. Do i have the slightest clue or the right to say that? No.....but if you can make assumption, why can't i? The only people who know that are those close to him. Then again, if he's as smart as it seems, he'll probably end up having a better job and better life than many of us on here, so no reason to feel bad for the kid.
