A comment in another thread got me thinking about something I've pondered for years.
Do you think that some college athletes receive grade padding from their universities? Or receive money or other compensation for their athletic skills?
I played just a touch of college football, I really wasn't very good, but many of the starters drove new Cadillac Escalades and had very high GPA's even though I don't think they knew how to read and came from some extremely poor areas.
What about players at U of M, Notre Dame, Duke, UNC, and other schools with amazing athletic programs and very tough academic standards?
Do you think their is some manipulation of the system?
