The university has nothing to do with whether they graduate, get a worthwhile degree, or get a job based on it. What they do academically is their problem, and they're given every advantage possible to succeed academically. Special tutoring, first scheduling priority, special permission to move tests, etc.

Some schools basically invent easy classes and/or encourage incoming athletes to take the lightest courseload. I went to LSU. I had a couple of classes with athletes. They'd show up on the first and last day and somehow still advance to the next level of courses.

There's a reason why scandals revolving around academic fraud in major college athletics surface year after year.
