See the article. They asked UNC, other schools, and the NCAA.
"Many jocks are dumb and/or undereducated because education begins at home and a lot of these guys grew up in homes where there was no education, and many if not all of the universities are taking advantage of the situation because their priority is money." Gee... I sure am glad CNN's on top of THIS story and not wasting any time on... well... benghaziorthepresidentbeingagaymuslimcokeheadorwhatever...
As someone else on this thread has already axed, "*ahem*... no demographic data was offered..."
So the real news story doesn't get told.
"In certain demographic groups, none that anyone cares to disclose, there are problems with education levels..." Golly I wonder where that would go, 'specially considering all the money that's been wasted in the name of education by the government.
The recent series that SI did on OSU (a school I have no particular affinity for, but happen to live near) was full of unnamed sources, exaggerated allegations and downright wild hyperbole - written, truth be known, by an OU journalism graduate who also happens to be a vindictive, ambitious ass with an ax of his own to grind.
After the truth came out about that deal I'd be surprised at nothing from CNN.
By the way, in the weather report, it's cold today. Blacks and minorities hardest hit.
