ESPN - Father says Lee will not transfer, will prepare for combine instead - College Football


...is the fact that parents have forgotten how to parent and simply empower their child's sense of entitlement.

This young man could not even get to class, and obviously was not making the grades. Mom's response? He didn't get a fair deal. Message? Don't respect the rules, don't respect authority, and quit when a challenge presents itself. I see so much of this on a regular basis...in the news and in my profession. Parents not holding their children accountable for their behavior.

"My baby didn't do that. My baby would never behave that way." Get a clue.

What a joke.

I can't read it due to my job putting up "you better work" blockers on some sites. Would you be able to paste it?

Here's the start of the article ..... he's going to prepare for the NFL combine instead.

Xavier Lee's turbulent career at Florida State is over after the Seminoles asked him to move from quarterback to tight end, his father told the Orlando Sentinel.

Lee's father, Willie, said Xavier, a redshirt junior, was told by Florida State coaches he no longer would be playing quarterback, and that offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher had asked him to play tight end instead.

The ultimate wake up call will be an unprepared Lee declaring for the draft and then getting a 6th round slot and cut. Where will mom and dad complain to then?

I would say stupid runs in the family, but that is not my point. A bad situation is not when you get a Full Ride to a 4 year education that will earn you millions in your life. Heartbroken is screwing it up. This kid was given a great opportunity and wasted it by not getting a quality education. Now he is going to try out for the NFL after he could not even attend class. I can't tell you how many times I dragged myself in class stinking like the end of the world and hoping not to crap myself from the hours before hand. I wish him the best of luck, but come on.

6th Round, yeah right that clown could not start at FSU when they were 6-6. He is a bust and a half and might get a tryout with a team at best. If he does declare for the draft teams will laugh. How many games did he start 5 maybe 6? They better not complain when he has to move back in b/c he cannot find a job.

I was giving him the benifit of the doubt. That makes it even more ridiculous.
