I really hope you dont truly feel that way. Apparently you must be around colleges that are jokes. I can name many many colleges that do not give special breaks to their student athletes. Stanford, Cal, and UCLA are just a few of the many that come to mind. Im sure its not just some west coast thing either.
Perhaps you should tell all the student athletes at Stanford that they need to stop going to class. Did I mention that Stanford has the best Division I-A athletics program? (No, that is not my opinion, it is a fact) *ALL* Stanford athlete applicants must meet the same minimum requirements as any other regular applicants. They cant just cut all their classes and expect to continue playing sports. Yes, Stanford's football program is not one of the top in the country (right now
) but Im sure that everyone would agree that they are becoming much better people than if they just let in anyone who could catch a ball, even if they couldnt spell their own name...
Please dont make generalizations like that...
