What do "Student-athletes" care about grades?

It's only cheating if you get caught. UNC isn't alone.

Yes - drop college sports as anything but student recreation and go back to actual academic pursuits. I agree emphatically.

Let athletes go to college for sports. Why should we require that they take math, english and history?
Oh...

It wasn't just athlete's. If whoever is running the class says to get a grade you must have a 10 page report handed in by the end of the semester and you do just that, how is that cheating?

well if they were a product of the NC public school system, they probably needed all the help they could get.

All you have to do is look at the state of the NFL and that is a clear indication of the quality of the "student" athletes being churned out by the corrupt college football system.

These "student athletes" many of them have no business stepping onto a college campus. They belong in prison.

You think VT is clean, I have to wonder what courses the Vick brothers were taking, particularly the younger Vick. If a university with North Carolina's credentials has an issue there are more, maybe this will be a wake up call.

What are you talking about? There are plenty of examples. Look at Percy Harvin. That guy is flat out nuts, even with all his talent he just got traded for nothing by probably the best coach in the league because he can't deal with him.

Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, Ray Lewis...the list goes on and on. Gifted athletes, deeply flawed mentally.
