“Do collegiate athletes still have to take classes at the colleges they are playing for and earn passing grades?”

Have they ever?
Thank you NCAA for screwing with college sports. You have decimated the whole “student athlete”! It wasn’t enough to give full scholarsships, and and easy ride to a 4 yr degree!
Late in the last century, I was almost hired to tutor athletes at Cal State Fullerton, where I was working on a master’s degree in library and information science. However, because the program was technically administered by San Jose State University, Cal State Fullerton couldn’t hire me—it would have violated some arcane NCAA rule.
