Yet more on school athletics

I’ve gotten a lot of responses to yesterday’s column and challenged myself to boil down what I was trying to express in one or two sentences. There is something wrogn with our acadeimc system when almost totally illiterate athletes are graduated from our high schools and actually admitted to colleges with all expenses paid, while kids who took the time to learn are told to find their own funding or that they’re on a waiting list. That is simply wrong.
