As we all have known, academic and athletic scandals have been rocking UNC for the past 3-4 years. More is breaking. A reading specialist at UNC claiming that "her research of 183 football or basketball players at UNC from 2004 to 2012 found 60 percent reading at fourth- to eighth-grade levels and roughly 10 percent below a third-grade level." Now for the really disturbing thing. Her research is being "halted" by her employer. Um... with all of the utterly bizarre things being researched on college campuses today, why would this be halted? http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/10306834/north-carolina-tar-heels-investigating-athlete-literacy-claims-chancellor-says |

See Dick. See Jane. See Dick dunk a basketball. See Jane go to Dick's dorm room and reward Dick (no pun intended) for being a good basketball player. |

same pretty much goes on all over the country. Ever heard one of Cali-cheaters one and done KY players being interviewed? Student-Athlete is one of the funniest slogans ever invented. |
