That is very shocking and quite sad.
True story. Centenary College had a great BB team when Robert Parish was there. Most of the players were semi-literate. English 101 was required and it was a bitch of a class.
So, the athletic dept. created "English 101 for Basketball Players Only". But this was a violation of NCAA rules. So, they circumvented the rule. Any student in the college could register for "English for BB" .. HOWEVER...you had to find out where registration would be held and at what time.
So, the players were told that registration for the class would be at the asst. coach's house at 11 pm on Tuesday. And don't tell anyone else!

This should be a criminal offense when done at public institutions. Don't care what private schools do and I'm okay with private schools dominating college football.
