LastRites - > Last Rites -> Nevada prep football player gets PUNK'D
Nevada prep football player gets PUNK'D

A good friend and former colleague of mine when I worked in Yuma, Ariz., sent me this story from the Reno Gazette-Journal.

news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article

Truly a bizarre case of a coach not protecting his athlete. If four or five BCS football programs are supposedly recruiting your top player, wouldn't red flags go off if said programs have never asked for game films or even called you and asked about said player.

Also, I can't believe the kid chose Cal without taking a recruiting visit. I believe the football program pays for the trip (flight, food, hotel, etc.), so why not take a visit to the campus and check out the facilities?

A practical joke that went beyond the limits of good taste. I'm sure his peers  were involved in this heinous crime. Let's hope the joke has a better ending.
