Outside the Lines states Football is Life in Florida. Translation: Water is Wet.

Didn't get around to this when it hit the headlines last week.

Outside the Lines, which I'm shocked ESPN allows to exist with reports like this, had a report last week about a study made about complaints against the football teams and basketball teams at 10 colleges and universities, including Florida State University and the University of Florida.

(Here's the Deadspin article on it -- it's gotten significant play elsewhere in the media as well.)

None of this should be any real surprise:

• Fake internal "investigations"...
• Preferential police treatment
• Intimidation

Florida State has an assistant athletic director who is openly known as a "fixer" -- not unakin to the NFL and the likes of Billy "White Shoes" Johnson and other entities who would ensure that "problems" would be "taken care of" so that players would be on the field.

The link to the actual report is on the Deadspin article, but nothing appears to be anything anyone does not know:

• Many of these schools would not functionally exist without their major revenue-producing sports programs...
• So the criminality of players, necessary for the current types of "men" playing these games, is covered up.  
• If ever exposed and handled in concert with how the rest of us would be getting, there would be real questions about sports in general and their future at these schools specifically...
• ... and we can't have that...  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
