They are really eating their own. Colleges must be quaking in their boots. What next, require athletes to actually make it in on their grades and SAT’s?
Add that to the slow awakening by the public that you can get a better education on the internet for, basically, free. And add to that the college loan bubble that is STILL about to pop.
This will not be a good decade for our country’s universities.
Believe it or not, athletes do have to get in with decent grades. Though some sports have lower bars than others. I know of two elite athletes who switched sports once they were accepted. Each a star in their sport, they each were granted a scholarship at the U for the other’s sport, and then “the coaches decided to switch the players.” Ha ha ha. (Yeah, you guessed it, the sport with the lower grades bar was football)
Liberals always destroy their own. This was bound to sink sooner or later.look at every Democrat run city in the US.
In the late 50’s and early 60’s an athlete had to be meet admission requirements before receiving a football scholarship. I personally know a great HS tackle who was recruited by several name universities until they saw his grades. He was eventually taken on a one year academic probation by a smaller college. He made it, and graduated in four years on the dean’s list; went to Vietnam as an OCS lieutenant, received a bronze star for valor; and recently retired from large industrial company.
