Why don't I care?
Maybe it's because we are the ONLY country on the PLANET which has this "educational" system where we PAY college athletes, mostly black men, to play sports while getting a free ride to a university education. I think it's insane.

They make way more money for the University and local businesses than they “make”. It’s essentially a minor league for the NFL.

Football at FSU actually does pretty well at graduating players. If you're white. Scout.com says they graduated 100% of their white football players. [Sadly, only 55% of Black football players got diplomas.]
If you think those numbers are bad, Connecticut graduation rates for basketball players in 2012: 10%. When 90% of the kids in a program don't graduate, you can hardly claim you're even pretending they're students.
