Many of the athletes playing “college ball” have no business being enrolled in a college. They just don’t have the academic chops that should be required. I would venture to say that some of them are even borderline illiterates and so they are basically placed in “basket weaving” courses to justify them playing ball there.
It’s a sham.

Nothing wrong with playing ball, especially if you can do it for a living. So let’s cut out the middlemen and just establish semi-pro leagues in which athletes can be groomed for the pros and legitimately get paid for it as well.


This time it is rich people buying their kids into college. Different game.

Got it. I saw that athletic coaches were mentioned so jumped to conclusions.
