    I kinda fail to see how failing at classes and getting an free ride due to athletics for these guys no matter what the degree is lo. Mother fuckers could be majoring in nanotechnology and if they are getting free rides due to how well they play Baskethoops, they arnt going to try no matter what. You give anyone the easy way out with no repercussions they can see, they are gonna take it.

    Since when have colleges even been about education? That shit stopped sometime in the early 90s.

Sometimes I forget we are too comfortable in our armchairs.
    Helping people one at a time isn't how you make a difference.

    You can only help a small number of people that way. If someone really wants to make a difference, they need to get others to help.

    "make a difference" is a pretty nebulous concept. if you help one guy, you've made a difference to that guy. probably quite a large one. SEMANTICS BITCH, ADD SOME QUALIFIERS

    Whats wrong with making a difference for just one person? Not every single person has to change the world.
