But, is that education worth the money they make for the programs that they don't get a dime of? And is this fair to students who work hard in the classrooms when athletes cheat themselves through college?]]> 2016-11-22 02:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bhull3/u6gzmc0vilpl/wish/139249303 UNC Scandal bhull3 https://padlet.com/bhull3/u6gzmc0vilpl/wish/139250438 The University of North Carolina allowed some of their football players to attend these "paper" classes where they had to turn in papers at the end of the semester with no requirement to attend the class.

The problem that this brings is the topic of special admissions for athletes. A tutor at UNC had to bring some players back to classes on how to sound out letters of the alphabet. Tutors shouldn't have to be doing this at the college level. This reflects the type of admission these athletes are receiving. If these were normal students with no athletic talent, they wouldn't be getting acceptance letters from these well respected universities.
