It is the institutions taking advantage of students. The grad rate for the student athletes would probably be equal to the rest of the student body if it wasn't for the revenue athletes.

I'm actually surprised the rate for graduation is that high. Do you know who has the highest graduation rate in div I basketball? The answer isn't one team, it's one coach. It is any team coached by Bobby Knight. Despite all his antics he must care for his students enough to keep them engaged in school.

Well, you might want to look at the study again and see what’s happened since his (Knight’s) departure. IU is an embarrassment in this study.

Once upon a time KU had a high standard for BB players under Roy Williams. They actually attended classes and had to pass.

Pressure overcame the system, and now it is seemingly all about hand-holding thugs to keep them out of trouble for 4 years.

They’ll crash on their own with lotsa $ but no foundation.
