[QUOTE="Billygoat91, post: 1008229, member: 4766"] Academics in major college sports (football and basketball) doesn't mean anything and hasn't for some time. Articles like this are just coming out because the whole facade of student athletes pushed by the NCAA has crumbled in the past few years. I think there are individual who care, but the system ad a whole doesn't. It really is a disservice to the athletes, though. A small fraction will go pro and make great money. The rest, if they squander their opportunity for higher education, lose out on the much more definite outcome of life changing money through getting their degree. It's easy for 18-22 yr olds to think about getting the bag in terms of one big pay out. It's harder to understand the difference that a middle-class salary over 30 years sets you up for life.
