SI article on Criminals in College Football.

In some ways I really wish this article had surprised me.
It shows how turning the other cheek is OK in big time athletics.

Two primary states for football players do not share juvenile records -  Texas and California, so the data may be a bit off.  With that in mind, I tend to smirk at the Texas, Oklahoma and California schools low numbers.

SI listed the top 25 teams from their 2010 preseason rankings with the number of criminal players.

It did shed light on a few things.  
Joe Pa is what I thought he was  "A Big Hypocrite."
(The Big 10 came out worse than I even expected.)

The moral of the story, keep your kids away from college football teams.
40percent of these crimes are considered serious.
