This does happen.
It is really sad.
Some professors are pressured or told to "Pass the football/basketball players along."
Some professors have no morals either and will just pass the athletes.

Thing is, when you do something like this, it can come back.
I am sure these guys who do not make it in the pros will come back with a lawsuit against the university and professors too.

The former athlete has no tools for supporting himself after college sports ends.

It is very sad that this happens to many of them.

This falls with the labor union debate and paying college athletes.
These people have scholarships and tutoring.
Hell, they even can have students for pay do their course work for them.
I think people pushing labor unions, and other things for college athletes should address something like this. Makes sure the athletes are learning. Attending classes.

All do not make it to the pros.
All who make it to the pros do not get tens of millions in contracts.
Those who do, many of them after their time inn sports are broke.
