your facts counter your argument not support it random thoughts Send a noteboard - 09/04/2011 05:18:02 PM
If student athletes automatically get passing grades why set up the tutoring program. Are you honestly complaining that LSU is trying to make sure the student athletes actaully learn something? Are you you one of those who simply don't think college and athletics should mix despite the fact that they have always mixed.

If they're in college, fuck no. But should they be in college in the first place? Legolas - 06/04/2011 07:57:03 PM 833 Views

I'm already pissed they get scholarships for being able to play football. They can join the NFL beetnemesis - 07/04/2011 12:50:15 AM 757 Views
Sports bring in such a huge amount of money to schools though. Darth_Katie - 07/04/2011 04:32:37 AM 653 Views
It does help schools raise money, AND it does help the players LadyLorraine - 07/04/2011 07:38:31 PM 680 Views
That's why there are need and merit-based scholarships beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 03:22:09 PM 665 Views
I get the rationale, it just annoys me. *NM* beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 03:20:05 PM 273 Views
No. Sports brings in huge amounts of money to popular schools. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 03:27:33 PM 260 Views
So no one should profit if everyone can't? Darth_Katie - 10/04/2011 06:25:44 PM 638 Views

schools are full of fluff classes and it isn't just because of sports random thoughts - 09/04/2011 05:21:57 PM 576 Views
