While the UNC story is true, it's (athletes getting academic wiggle room) not comparable to this situation at all.
These kids who want the free pass are just trying to get a free ride...
The athletes provide A LOT to a University including an absolutely insane amount of money on athletic competition's ticket sales, merch and tv revenue...

It's pathetic is what it is...
It's almost shameful to be part of a society where seemingly everybody has their hands cupped in front of them expecting the handout.

There is no accountability anymore.

Whelp, I'm darker than those people, so I think I should get this/that... Or... I can't focus that well and I decided to blast 10 people with a gun, guess I'm insane and it's all good.

There totally is no accountability. People sue left and right.

"wiggle room" Is that what you are calling it? LOL.

It was 2 decades of giving out free passes to anyone involved in the center for African American studies at UNC. It's very comparable to this situation in in the context given.
