Groucho Marxist posted:$120,000 full ride scholarships don't mean poo poo when you're admitted to college with a middle school reading level, and the only possible way you can actually get by in class is having a tutor do your work for you. They are also actively encouraged to not take full advantage of those scholarships by coaches and advisers pushing them towards the easiest classes possible, a culture of rampant academic fraud that teaches them they don't actually have to try to learn anything, and insane practice/workout/film study demands that make it difficult to balance their academic interests with football.

Frackie Robinson posted:So is the answer to just give up on academics altogether and say "gently caress it, just pay them cash and drop the pretense"? That's just always struck me as a very defeatist attitude. A college education for every athlete should be a tremendous value, the fact that it's not being utilized most of the time is the real scandal. Sure, players who have no interest in or need for a college education should have other alternatives for continuing their football career, but that's not really the NCAA's fault. Either drop the pretense or change things so they can take advantage of the great free education they're allegedly getting, but don't continue pretending that it's a fair compensation for what they're doing while working to make it close to impossible for them to take advantage of.
