The NCAA and major college athletics are a fraud. The term student-athlete is a joke. Most of those guys running around Death Valley have no business being in college...they're there for our entertainment... That scholarship - worthless. What good does that do for a person who's reading at the jr high level if reading at all. These guys basically get "tutored", coached through joke classes. Read Blind Side and behind the feel good story is how they gamed the system to get that kid eligible for college. It's a joke....But, yeah, I'm watching every Saturday too.

This is a problem, but I don't know how it can be remedied? Some of the best athletes come
from the worse schools, families, backgrounds, etc. and have the poorest educations.
