re: John Calipari takes a shot at Coach K

I know it wasn't your intent, and it is unrelated to the debate of Duke/UK, but I absolutely despise this article that was written by the Boston Globe. It drew a lot of ire from University of Wisconsin fans/students/alumni of the university.

Many students at schools like Wisconsin end up going for five-years because you apply into the school your intended major is in. Athletes, such as basketball players, are not like other students. When their athletic eligibility is up, and they are a class, semester, or year away from graduating, they either go to the NBA or play overseas.

What the Boston Globe fails to mention is that some universities, like Wisconsin, do not allow their athletes (i.e. basketball players) to take classes remotely. They must physically be on-campus. With this in mind, many players are only able to take a class or two during the summer (off-season) or wait until their playing days are done. It does, unfortunately, hurt the graduation rate, but does not tell the whole story.
