This is why I am NOT a supporter of college athletics.

A few years ago, the news reported that NO kid on a basketball scholarship had EVER graduated from the University of Arkansas!

The state college here is usually <3000 and has turned out many Olympians and international competitors; the athletes have a better graduation rate. Football doesn't get much billing. Using sports to raise funds is the problem.
