[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1019652, member: 7261"] Agree with all this. Which is why I say that even the Universities like UW Madison that claim they strive for education excellence should just drop the BS appearances and not lump those wanting a "sports education" with an "academic education". Acceptance into and staying in the College should not be based only on "GPA" in what I would term "Academic High". Those people wanting to come to a University to better their chances of landing a paying (professional) job in Sports should be treated as such. They may not have gotten C's and above in Reading, writing and arithmetic, but I bet they ran circles around everyone else in gym class. Give that person a shot at furthering themselves in a college program in athletics. For classes, teach them about things pertinent to being an athlete; such as nutrition, money management, anatomy, training, etc. How many more years are these colleges going to keep pretending that they can fit square pegs in round holes? Even after they are in those holes, they continue to hide the fact that they really don't fit, but are needed for the success of the University? [/QUOTE]
