Some are covering it up, and some just have better discipline policies. I am not going to cast too many stones, Tennessee has had their share of discipline problems. Indeed, you better not throw stones. You were tied with UGA in the standings until this arrest. But we have never won the cup so named after one of our beloved coaches.

if you choose to go to Gawga, you clearly aren't that smart. Yet UGA graduates more student athletes and football players than the University of Toothless... I have to admit, I laughed out loud at this.

Seriously though, I am losing my passion for this game. Yeah, it is bad at Georgia. No clue what the solution is. But it isn't just Georgia...every freakin day you see someone has been arrested somewhere. How many times has it been beating up a woman or driving under the influence of something or stealing from others? It is getting old. I don't know if it is today's society or what, but its in the NFL, the NBA, MLB, hockey, soccer and on and on and on. Hard to really give a damn anymore. It's society as a whole. But I refuse to let that particular subculture destroy something I am passionate about...to steal a line from Coach Charlie Strong...from here on known as CSS...how about the other 80 or so players tartare doing it right? I focus on them and how they represent Florida...and yes...while it tickles me a little when another schools kids screw up....it's the uglier stuff...like domestic violence, felony assaults,DUIs...that make you sick and puss you off...but tat isn't the sports fault, the coaches fault, the schools fault...it s the asshole selfish individual that CHOOSES and is copable for these actions...so pray for them and move on and enjoy the ups and downs of ths great sport of college football with the 80 kids that do it right and are out their playing their guts out for their teammates, their coaches, their schools, and their fans.

While slightly funny, pretty sure that is not the First Baptist Church of Athens

A familiar theme surfaced during a Mark Richt press conference to kick off fall camp.
Off-field player issues.
You might have heard -- Mark Richt has lost control of his program.
Again.
For, like, the seventh straight year.
That's the convenient narrative.
Yes, Georgia has had its share of problems with players, this offseason included. At least five players have faced legal trouble, including a foursome involved in a March theft by deception.
Look around and Richt clearly isn't alone. Alabama had at least five arrests this offseason, and Saban will never get the same human-pinata treatment as Richt. He's too beloved. Texas A&M has had 15 arrests in the last two years, according to the Houston Chronicle. Florida and Tennessee had extensive criminal behavior at times in the 2000s.
Richt's easy to bash on this stuff, maybe because he's been around so long and doesn't have the national-title cachet. That's not an excuse. This offseason was not his best.
But he seems ready to act when problems arise. One of the four players from the theft remain on the team. Defensive lineman John Taylor is the latest to go after a felony aggravated assault last month.
Linebacker Davin Bellamy got a two-game suspension for a DUI. Safety Josh Harvey-Clemons is gone after multiple failed marijuana tests.
Richt defended his approach to bad behavior at SEC Media Days -- really, if conferences had uniformed policies, we wouldn't have to try to stack who which coach is tough on crime vs. who's soft -- so CBS Sports got a chance to follow up with Richt in a television room.
His comments were interesting.
"Just because we've got guys suspended isn't evidence we have a discipline problem," Richt said. "It's evidence that we discipline our players. It's evidence there's accountability. ... Sometimes when you make part of your discipline playing time, it becomes a very public thing. Some of your dirty laundry gets out there in public. I'm willing to take that risk if the process will help these guys grow into men. If we ignore stuff they do and act like it didn't happen and sweep it under the rug, let them get away with it or whatever, what are we teaching? We are setting them up for failure down the road."
Though it seems impossible to 'sweep it under the rug' when police reports sometimes leak within minutes, Richt doesn't seem worried about placating impact players. If that was the case, two potential starting defensive backs (Harvey-Clemons and Tray Matthews, part of the theft arrest) would still be on the team.
Just a little context before you bash the SEC's easiest target.

As for Florida and Tennessee, we don't claim to have the toughest discipline policy in the conference. Dooley kicked several players off of the team, but there were problems there. Lots of problems in the year Kiffin was there.
