They only recently brought football back to the college I'm attending and I've been a constant and vocal opponent of it.

I talk to the instructors and I watch the athuhleets and it's not a pretty picture. When these kids are done with school, most of the them are going to go right back to the farm, or Burger King, or the welding shop or whatever because they aren't good enough for pro or educated enough for a job that pays real money, although welding pays pretty good no matter where you are.

I've had instructors get pressured for good grades. I even had one instructor tell me they had pressured her to word an answer in such a way as to allow them to pass off one player as being educationally challenged. They wanted her to say that even though he failed her class, that with special attention he could have passed, although she told me that it was as close to impossible as to be a miracle.
