as i mentioned above, i'm not saying there should not be sports teams in schools. i'm saying that their athletes should have otherwise qualified academically, and that athletes who don't qualify should have options to play professionally without corrupting the institution of student-athletics

The reason why my grandfather resigned as an administrator…there was this running back who hadn’t made the grades, and the team had a bowl game…The team won the game, the kid played great. Next season, suspended for failing a drug test. Marijuana. It’s a weird world. Grandfather tried to retire, eventually was coaching a smaller division school, he loved the game.
