This is common place in today's society. You see it in movies all the time, where the entire football team is as dumb as a bunch of rocks in a bag and it's dead on. I will give you the fact that some are very intelligent, but on average not many.
These guys are passed from year to year because of their talent and definitely not brains. They make the schools money and believe me the prof's know that **** and have probably been told to pass them. So with that being said you can't really trust the passing scores any athlete receives, now can you.
In today's society we are all so worried about saying anything that may not be politically correct. I say the hell with that. It's time we all got tired of the bull**** we are being feed and stand up and be counted once again.
Just one man's opinion.

Cherm, I'm with you 100%.
I did go to college and I worked my ass off to try and support myself while attending. Now I'm still about $40,000 in debt from student loans, and the job market sure isn't what it used to be for a computer science degree, although it's picking up right now.
These athletes play a game that I love to watch, but do they deserve a free pass to a college degree? They should be held to the same academic standards as everyone else. If they can't pass the classes, they should go play in the CFL until they are eligible for the draft.
