Greg Reid Charges

Recently, there has been a rash of college football players getting into trouble off the field.  Athletes such as Isaiah Crowell and Greg Reid are the most high profile of these athletes.  Greg Reid plays cornerback for Florida State University, he was charged with possession of marijuana and driving with a suspended license.  I am a college athlete and there many instances and ways to get in trouble off the field.  Because, of the culture of most college campuses use of alcohol and marijuana when partying is common; however as an athlete you have to be a little more focused and deliberate in the things that partake in.  You must also be conscious of things that will cause you to lose the opportunity to further your education on a full scholarship.  I think some of the athletes that have been  getting in trouble have lost site of the most valuable part of college which is gaining your degree not football or partying.
