Did you go to a D1 school with a big football program? I did. Those kids aren't students. UNC just did it a bit more egregiously than some. Kids getting 800 on the SAT on their 3rd or 4th try are not capable of getting a degree at a reputable institution, especially with the time commitments big-time athletics takes.

Most schools have their programs following NCAA rules and standards of decency. Cheaters get punished when caught since they cheated their opponents out of fair competition and steal the rewards of honest work performed by their opponents .


It's not "slave labor" when you can leave at any time.

And again, these guys *know* that they are not going to have to take real classes. They're not stupid. Do you think FSU "fooled" Deion Sanders into not bothering to show up for his final exams? He wanted to play football and had zero interest in school. He knew his curriculum was BS. Nobody "duped" him out of his education.

That's what the players want. If the schools actually required football players to be serious students, 2/3s of them wouldnt boither.

The real solution is for the NFL to set up a minor league and let college football go back to being for serious student athletes. There's no reason for college football to be as big as it is anyway.
