NE Patriots Draft:
With the rash of recruiting scandals involving Reggie Bush and OJ Mayo at the forefront of the national consciousness, it is time for us again to revisit why we make some aspiring NFL players jump through the hoops at the college level. Maurice Clarett and Mike Williams both found out the hard way that the NFL is as tough in the courtroom as they are in between the white lines, but should the fresh Commish take a fresh look at this situation?

Obviously this isn't ALL college football and basketball players, because a lot of them are really educated and don't take the shortcuts. But it happens, I think more then anyone is really aware of.
Example:
When I was in high school, Marcus Camby (I know this is a basketball player!) got busted for attempted rape. He threw a female through a wall. Somehow, the whole thing was diffused before it hit the larger papers or ESPN. Probably because someone paid someone to stop the press if you know what I am saying.
Your idea is a good one. However, I don't think anything will change until the people behind the scenes are stopped, such as: the players friends, family, and even acquaintances that support this type of behavior
