Oregon, Who Is In Charge?

Oregon Ducks met the Boise State Broncos in Bronco Stadium last season, things have been on a downward spiral.

It all started for the Ducks after the Boise game with LaGarette Blount's punch seen around the world.

In the last 45 days or so Oregon Duck football players have been charged or accused of various crimes 5 or more times. Just in the last 48 hours another Oregon player has been accused of drunk driving and breaking into a car.

Last month a starter and back up player were accused of crashing a frat house party and stealing. The two are alleged to have stolen Mac Laptop computers.

Following that fiasco another starter has been accused of assault and choking a female victim.

The list of criminal activities by Duck football players goes on and on and makes me wonder, who is charge over there.

Playing college football is a privilege, not a right. These guys were mostly on scholarship, some one else paying their bills and way through college while other students have to work and take out loans.

Its a darn shame these guys dont realize how good they have it compared to most students. Instead of walking around like they are special, they should treat their situation as something special.

More importantly the Athletic Director and Coach Kelly need to make their players see how special they are being treated and how that adds accountability to their actions.

I don't know who is in charge at Oregon but they better appoint some one quickly. The way things are going in Eugene, one has to wonder, will they have enough players that are not under some type of criminal investigation to field a team.

Until The Ducks get a handle on their athletes they will suffer more pictures like this that are making the rounds of all the PAC 10 Message Boards.
