Says a lot of the young men on the squad and their coaches who seem to have successfully "compartamentalized" their efforts in football (and I hope as well in the classroom) away from the distraction those events can become.
Without discussing the merits of the legal cases against either of those head coaches, honestly, the team and coaches can't do anything about those situations (outside of prayer, which is a pretty powerful ally) ... so make the time on the practice field, at the game, or in the classroom as effective as possible for their community and themselves.
