It's more of a cash cow for a few fuckers cynical, ruthless, and already rich enough to commit.

I mean, they probably cheated to get that, if that is what you are asking.

Division I NCAA athletes in serious/nationally- competitive programs spend an exorbitant amount of time and effort focusing on athletics, and it's pretty open knowledge that they're barely able to function as college students, so it seems plausible to me that a low B average is a record. What's sick is bragging about it, as if it's not evidence of the deep sickness of college football as an institution.

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

I don't know why they preserve the illusion of going to college. You can always go back if your pro sports dream doesn't pan out.

2.89 average for a group of roughly 50-ish random students is bad?

It’ll be closer to 100 (85 scholarship players, plus however many walk-ones) but yeah, that’s not bad at all.

It's not great seeing as a 2.3 is the minimum to be allowed to be on the team, but yeah, it's not like they're bragging about a single player hitting a 2.89 for the first time in school history

Student athletes at big sports schools have attendance-graded study halls that count for credit, special versions of normal classes that are watered down w drastically reduced workload, and access to individual tutors (paid for by federal work study grants, i.e. your taxes), whom are pressured, coerced, or even bribed to complete the athletes’ coursework for them and they have yet to swing a B average ever

Also in rest of the series they explain figures of speech to Data like he’s an idiot and they’re basically the same thing.
