Illiterate athletes would get As for "papers" in classes known to exist solely to bolster their GPAs.

That's sad enough, but the same thing goes on at schools all over the country.

Why do you think the pros are signing high school graduates? If you have athletic talent, anything goes. The pro's will hide drug abuse, rape pedophilia, you name it as long a you produce. Retire and you are on your own, and the pro teams act like it is news to them. Yeah right.

In schools the cheating scandals are rampant.

Which only underscores that professional sports in America are just another type of Hollywood entertainment: Produce $$$ for the owners, and you can do whatever you want.
