    Private Universities have to protect their investment in these kids and make certain they behave appropriately and in the schools' best interest.

    To say that the student body president is more highly looked upon than the student athlete is ridiculous. The student athlete is responsible for more activities and more is demanded from them on a daily basis. How dare you scoff at field hockey players and look down upon what they do, especially on the collegiate level. To both of you in the video, have you ever been to a field hockey game? Better yet, have you been to a student government meeting? I don't believe so, therefore you have no evidence to base claims upon. Please know that no matter a student athlete or a student government official a college student is a college student no matter what extracurricular activities they so choose and therefore have rights to their privacy, just like everyone else.

About Bob Ford
Bob Ford has been writing about Philadelphia sports since 1981, and is still trying to figure it all out. A former beat writer covering the Phillies and the 76ers, Ford became a general sports columnist for the Inquirer in 2003, following in and occasionally falling in the deep footsteps of Bill Lyon, Frank Dolson and many distinguished others. He comes to the Philly.com blogosphere after award-winning success as designer/editor of the fabulous Pen & Pencil Club softball blog. Likes: Palestra, inside-the-park home runs, sunny days. Dislikes: phony people, cloudy days, rewrites.
