In my high school days, Mark Bruchy was one of the "BMOC's" (Big Men On Campus). Classic Rockers should remember those types of guys. Always wearing the football jersey on Friday (game day), wearing the letterman's jacket in 90 degree heat.
This news cannot be surprising to anyone having absorbed the cavalier attitude of today's college and pro athletes, and with so much money invested in talent, the "stars" seem to get a free pass more often than the "math major", or band member.
