While the university still considers it important to maintain the farce that these athletes are students as well, make no mistake that they are there for the sole purpose of winning football games. If the coach can get players who can both win and pass remedial English that is just icing on the cake, which is why it is a bonus but not a requirement.
If the players had IEPs in high school, they get to take mostly online classes with a “tutor.” Nifty, don’t you think?
