re: College athletes that can't read?

Why do I think fourth grade level is not the "threshold" of reading for what is expected of college students? Why would you think it would be?

I suspect, the woman was using an example of someone who came in just under the bar initially (maybe 10th grade, or whatever this threshold is) to try to cleverly (she thinks) make some point. Not that some kid in college barely reading on a lower elementary school level actually made it to med school.
