November 14th, 2008 - byThe Wall Street Journal reported this week about the new player conduct rules implemented by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
This sweeping new personal-conduct policy, which was announced before the 2007 season, allows the NFL to quickly and summarily fine and suspend players; not just for committing crimes, but for any act that’s deemed harmful to the NFL’s “integrity and reputation.” To guard against these unpredictable suspensions (there have been 10 so far), NFL teams are hiring former police officers and FBI agents as security chiefs, ordering up extensive background checks, installing video-surveillance systems in locker rooms, chasing down rumors and sometimes forbidding players from talking to the press.
Many NFL players feel the policy is an over reach, but the it appears here to stay. This strict policy also outlines how recruits need to carry themselves at all times. Just like the NFL is refusing to let character risks damage the league’s image, universities will continue to investigate a players background to ensure solid character. If you plan on fulfilling your athletic scholarship potential, I recommend making sound decisions.
