I have talked to them, I do talk to them, I was one, and my experience is MUCH different than what you're referencing. PED use might be more prevalent than what I think, but I sincerely disagree that it is as rampant as you say. There is an element of guys that think they will play in the NFL no matter what......and I would put that at much, much lower percentage than what you're saying. remember that there are over 100 guys on just about every P5 team. Lots of diversity of background in there....with only a handful of guys legitimately having an experience in college that would lead them to believe that they're going to the NFL (the blue blood programs would be the exception to this last statement...as everyone at tOSU probably thinks this way for example.....and 1) I would put them as one of my 15-20 programs, and 2) they get a much higher level of athlete on avg than 95% of cfb teams)The reason you're wrong is that if you talk to CFB players, they are exactly like NFL players in that they think this is their livelihood. Not 100% but a very high number.
CSU football's PED program got a lot better when a certain coach from Alabama got there.
I won't go into references but this guy was my trainer (and good friend) slightly before he got busted here. Miami coincidentally was coming off winning the national championship and would finish a close 2nd the following year.
The "potential money" is on the line for a CFB player. They are no different.
