Usually.

Maturity doesn't always come with increased calendar age. There are a whole mess of other things in the head and body of the college athlete that make him act and react differently than someone of lesser calendar age.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
They do not have to get on SportsCenter, they could just be on local TV or state wide TV during State Final games. TV is really big around here (as you know) just for certain games. A lot of people see those games and since you have left, now there is a big time show that focuses on high school games around the area. Kids watch those shows and they realize they are on TV. They stay very restrained and I have seen many situations where I would think kids would get out of hand or do what they see on TV from the other levels, and I am surprised how few ever get that excited.

Peace
