I'm watching the NCAA womens golf championships on the Golf Channel and the NCAA has a commercial where they say 'the NCAA prioritizes academics'.
That statement made me want to puke. A North Carolina team is in the tourney too.
Your dummies will always be in football and basketball, mostly. Volleyball, golf, tennis, water polo, soccer, lacrosse will always feature mostly bright students. Baseball is pretty basic.
But yeah, football and basketball features a ton of people that have no business being in college.
