As I recall (I found it while surfing and can't seem to find it again), the author writes for ESPN.
Do me a favor and read my last post again. I agree that SOME athletes are in college for good reason and do come out with a bonified education.
However, my disagreement is with those (mostly Division One) schools for whom athletics are (again, this is my opinion) so important that academic standards are disregarded and athletes are given benefits (and problems overlooked) that would not accrue to "normal" students.
