and the universities that recruit student athletes. The term "student athletes" doesn't mean much today. You have players that are forced into the university system to pursue a sports career in many sports, and they don't care at all about academics. The worst part is that the universities don't give the kids an education once they're there. They are quick to give athletes the easiest route, ensuring they don't learn much of anything while they are attending school.
Jameis Winston can't produce a coherent sentence.
Kemba Walker got through college without reading a single book.
Bolles gets a score on a test that suggests he isn't even quite literate.
UNC goes out of its way to create fictitious courses and grades for student athletes so they don't have to even attempt to learn.
And we wonder why athletes make awful financial decisions are are broke within a couple of years after retirement.

IMO, the NCAA needs to do more to ensure student athletes are getting a college education, or they need to stop pretending to care.
