Dumb Athletes

There has been some research done showing that college athletes in division 1 sports of football and basketball cannot read. Their test scores show that some are reading at a fourth, fifth and sixth grade level. The professors know exactly what their comprehension is, but still pass them even though they are not able to pass the class. The teachers pass them regardless because of their athletic ability. They are not going to get through life by not being able to read at the right level. It is not right for professors and teachers to have passed them along over the years. it is bad teaching. Just because the student excels in a sports does not mean they do not have to do the work in school. Shame on the teachers and shame on the students not willing to learn or do better in life.
