Xavier always has a strong BB team, and I doubt their scouts are looking for road scholars.
Give the bitching about college athletics a rest. It is really getting old.
That would be Rhodes Scholar.
90% + graduation rate is pretty good. Far above the average for non-athletes, nationally (around 65%?)
Collegiate Athletics is out of control, and needs a major overhaul.
Now if you have something to say, then say it.
But if you don't like what I have to say, then don't go off on a rant for something that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
That, however, doesn't make every athlete (or even most) unworthy of an education.
Most athletes I have been around first hand actually work harder and do better than the "average" student. Maybe it's the spirit of competition, I'm not entirely sure.

Amazing
Is this really Karl Rove the spin doctor, here on Vital?
You're much smarter than that.
And I'm not talking much about pro hockey.
Bring back the semi pro leagues, and keep our colleges focused on academics.
BTW mxknowitall: I was just typing semi, hit the wrong key and the word Mimi came up. The two words are so similar.
None of which really has anything to do with the topic, of course. Originally, a pushing match between rival teams where one player threw a punch becomes a testament that most of the student-athletes aren't worthy of being educated in the first place.
It, along with many other things show that the ability of the athlete, over rides whether the student belongs in higher education period.
You're not stupid man. You, as well as others know that you don't have to be academically qualified to attend a major university if you have superior athletic abilities. If you want to argue that point, then you either think that the entertainment value, or the money that can be made, is more important than the ethics of higher education.
None of what you have said in the last several posts demonstrates that the individuals you originally said weren't worthy of a college education don't deserve to be educated. It's a pretty rough generalization at absolute best.
Most athletes who normally wouldn't qualify for a school under "normal" guidelines qualify under special circumstances just like hundreds of other students at colleges and universities. For athletes at the Univ. of Wash., for example, there are a total of 30 of these admits for all sports combined. That's a bit lower than the overall percentage of the general student population, so it's hard to make the case that athletes get that much more of a break in that area.
Unfortunately, a few cheating scandals seemed to have painted a pretty wide brush and left the idea that all student athletes are just there to play.
I am going to have to agree, to disagree.
