I was at Pitt when Tony Dorsett was there. Dude never went to classes, just hung out at the Student Union with his entourage. And THEY were paying HIM to be there.
So where is the outrage over this and the thousands of similar situations?
I think the “student athletes” are the least corrupt part of the whole system.
They are outstanding at what they do. People pay obscenely large amounts of money to support them, most of it freely given. They get what amounts to an apprenticeship for a job that will make some of them multimillionaires. And, if they are so inclined, they can also go to college.
Yes, their majors in football and basketball are obscured by lies. But so is everything else about the system, so why pick on them?
