Kenny Scott?

[helluvaparamedic]

I don't know everything regarding Kenny Scott. But, I believe that I read some where that he had one or two of his children living w/ him this season. Do any of you remember reading anything like this? This could be part of the reason for his academic problem.
The pressure of being a father added to the preessures of being a student and Div. 1 Football player.

EDIT: Found in AJC archives from story printed on Dec. 1, 2006, can't provide link (have to be an archives subscriber). Kenny's son lives in Atlanta, his daughter lives in Florida.

I'm sure you've heard the story of the Clemson player who took in his little brother as it was plastered on the TV during every Clemson game. The difference would be that the NCAA made special permissions for him to help support his brother. Some people can handle the pressure; some can't. Until my son is born, I can't really chime in anymore than I just did.

Wow, didn't know he was a father. I guarantee you if I had 2 kids while I was still at Tech, I would've failed out too. And that's without playing football.

I was not aware of that.

I know that I had enough trouble chewing gum and going to class, much less taking care of kids and all that is associated with being an athlete.

Not an excuse, but certainly worth consideration...Mike
