OMG! You nailed it? No, I don't think so.
It starts in high school and at that young age they often think they're indestructible. They get sucked in by the "glamour" and excitement, or whatever you choose to call it. The other (hazing) they're anxious to prove they're tough enough to take it to be accepted. Again, they still think they are indestructible. Acceptance is everything as it is in football.
