The fraud is strong here:
- The subject itself is fraudulent- what is “African-American Studies” exactly? What makes this a legitimate field of study? Does it have any use?
- The ‘academics’ who teach it are frauds with nothing to teach, except “kill whitey”, and “it’s all the fault of the imperialist/colonialist white male patriarchy.”
- The students who are taking these classes are doing so in order to attend a university for the sole purpose of playing sports, and not to get an education.
- The university itself has committed fraud by allowing this to go on, in the interest of sports, political correctness (itself a fraud) and “diversity” (another fraud.)

I’m fairly certain that the majority of students in these programs are not student-athletes. Schools don’t have enough athletes to justify an entire department.

“The fraud is strong here:”

You are so right! The solution, so far as I am concerned, is to do away completely with college athletics. But oh, what would students do for entertainment some would say. Colleges and Universities should be “institutions of higher learning.” I don’t understand why they have become “the farm system” for major league sports. Let the rich bastards who own the franchises, set up their own farm system outside post secondary academics. You can see the few schools who actually play by the rules, they have the loosing teams. And I will bet you that if you examine the “academic records” of the football teams, the only “value” from going to college was to try and get a contract with a professional sports team of one kind or another. I would also doubt if any “athletes” were so highly rated academically, that they switched their major in athletics to say, medicine or law! College athletics in nothing more than another manifestation of affirmative action.
