Halloween is already a risk for all young people because
Sorry boys, but I think everyone already figures "witch" team will win, and "trunk-or-treaters" probably won't help your chances.
But athletes don't act inappropriate and disrespect on purpose, it's out of frustration from competitiveness in the game and with other players. We just want to win.
I hope these surveys work to remind athletes because sportsmanship is important. But until then, athletes just need to practice self-control in real-life situations.
And trust me... it's harder than you think!
So within about two or three days, all your practice clothes are already sweaty, nasty, and gross because it's always so blazing hot outside.
Well, the Oxley Athletic Center is here to save the day once again.
Every Florida Atlantic student-athlete has their own locker in the athletic center where you can put as much athletic uniforms/practice gear that can fit (it's supposed to only be athletic clothes, but hey! we're in college--we take advantage of free stuff).
You may be wondering, "How do they keep everyone stuff separate? That must be a mess!" Ah ha, easier than you think!Actually, even though the event is mandatory, only about half of the athletes showed up on Saturday--out of about 175 student-athletes that received a 3.0 GPA last spring.
Last year, they were actually pulling random athletes to go on the field for the event because barely anyone showed up! Uh, hello!
The athletic department should realize that this isn't high school. No one really pays attention to these kind of events at a university.
Also, after talking with the students that attended the game, they would rather watch a halftime show anyway.
To make everyone happy, the FAU athletic department should just give student-athletes with a 3.0 GPA something like a Nike book bag or food gift cards, and leave halftime entertainment up to the band and cheerleaders.
If they did, I bet more athletes would get a 3.0 GPA this spring, and more people would stay around during halftime.
I'm also aware of the football player's endless responsibilities at Florida Atlantic University:
But that's what I'm trying to point out. After all of that hard work, time, and effort, shouldn't they win more games (or at least ONE game)?
Maybe if they put a little heart into this season, they can turn their record around before it's too late.
But after those intense soccer practices, the FAU tennis team had enough soccer to hold them over until at least next season!
Who knows? Maybe Coach Stokes actually made the right decision and now the men will be ready to focus more on tennis practice, and come out with a Sun Belt Conference championship.
I'm confident in them, as long as they don't "step out of line" again.
The cops took every one's name and went straight to--you guessed it--Alex Smolka, the head coach of the FAU men's cross country team.
Coach Smolka was not happy at all.
He sent a text at 7 a.m. on Saturday to both the women's and men's cross country teams about partying, underage drinking, and getting into trouble with the university police, and he held a meeting next practice explaining the potential consequences if this happened again.
But next time, I'm sure everyone will just make a run for it!
These issues make it seem more like a break-down rather than a break-up when you date another athlete at FAU.
