OT - Brian Banks
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2013 2:07 pmI know this is off-topic, but I had to bring it up.
Brian Banks is the player who was wrongfully imprisoned for raping a girl while he was still in High School:

Long story short, he got out, was proven innocent, and the Atlanta Falcons signed him as a free agent. Well, let's be honest: It was nice to be given a chance, but he was never going to make it on an NFL field given that he's been out of the game for, like, 10 years or whatever and never played a down of college ball. Plus, I think he was a WR in high school and he's been tried as a LB with the Falcons.
He's 28 now, and maybe he doesn't want a chance to play college ball, but he needs to petition the NCAA for a chance to play at a school somewhere. This is absolutely a special case and he needs to be given a real chance to play ball, not just be treated like a charity case.
