The SOA Watch....why is it even news? Why is it even newsworthy of print or air time?

From a L-E story: "“If we are going to address crime issues with young people, Parks and Recreation has to be involved with the Crime Prevention program I think,” Wetherington said." -- Excuse me? Is the Mayor saying government sports programming is the 'best' way to prevent young people from committing crimes? Has the Mayor looked at top level college and professional sports which provide leadership role models? If what AU's Fairley did to UGA's quarterback, or the use of steroids, or the number of crimes committed by college and professional athletes are examples, we need to take youth sports out of government hands altogether. Make parents totally responsible guiding their children in life and sports.

Why does the NCAA allow schools to add football games to the schedule if the major schools schedule such mismatched teams such as is/was the case of Alabama and GA State? Does an insignificant "W" really benefit the major schools (other than 'pad' the coaches personal win-loss record), or does a 'big payday' benefit the smaller schools when weighed against the potential injuries that can occur when players are so mismatched?
