Feel-good story about a college athlete - there are some out there...
"Villanova's two-sport standout, Matt Szczur, underwent a procedure Tuesday to donate bone marrow to a 1-year-old girl with leukemia at Hahnemann University Hospital, according to a source close to the player"....

"Szczur, a redshirt sophomore outfielder in baseball, did not play in last weekend's three-game series with Georgetown because he was taking medication to prepare for the procedure.

In November when it was disclosed that he was a donor, the university said that Szczur would have to begin taking medication four days before the procedure to increase his blood-forming cells"....

In reality, most probably are good people because most are not bound for pro-careers and have not been treated like gods their entire lives.
