I remember the Maurice Clarett saga and, like all such stories, there is much more than what mainstream media would have you believe. A nice retrospective on the rise and falls of both Clarett and his one-time coach Jim Tressel as well as look into a system that let them both down and a rabid fan base quick to turn. A bit longer than the standard 30 for 30, but well worth the time to check out.
