[COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]I respect the time and effort that you put into your post but I think you are missing something. Part of the student-athlete experience is designed to teach individual responsibility and accountability. The pressure on a high caliber athlete at a high profile program is tremendous and that's exactly why there is a very extensive and accessible support staff available. But, at the end of the day no one, not a coach, teammate, mother or friend can hold the students hand and walk him to class, to practice, to workouts, study for him, take his tests or eat,  and sleep for him. He has to accept those responsibilities and make his own decisions. Fab is Brazilian but he is not stupid and he knows the difference between right and wrong.  He made his decisions with ample opportunity to consider, reconsider and reflect upon those decisions. He referred to his team as his family throughout the season, and he failed that family. His family may forgive him and I’ve previously said that I wish him well for the future but, as a fan, I don't feel that he deserves my thanks for failing his team.[/FONT][/COLOR]
