A large number of those students are getting a sham education with majors like Leisure Studies. I guarantee you if there were a legitimate minor league like baseball those “students” would go in a heartbeat. Instead incidents like North Carolina happen. If a student can’t get into the school as a student, they shouldn’t be able to get in as an athlete. I know all schools lower their standards for athletes, they shouldn’t.
Totally agree. There is a broad line between the cost and the value of a sports scholarship. Though the dollar amount remains the same, the value is decided by the recipient and his/her coaches and mentors.
