    The only real surprise is that it's only "some."

    Or starting QB's working on a MBA as Junior. I would wager other BCS schools are in the same situation.

    I would wager FSU is among the worst.

    Having some student-athletes who aren't really students is one thing, but reading on a second-grade level? Please tell me you aren't really going to try to defend that.

    I'm just saying it's unfair to the other players to act like all the FSU guys are morons.

    "Brenda Monk, a learning specialist hired to work with athletes who had learning and physical disabilities, was accused of improperly helping students type, edit and write their papers."

    It would be illegal for a newspaper to obtain this information, but one way to get a kid who is dumb as dirt into a college is to identify him or her with a learning disability in high school. That is the way to get a kid who cannot read into college.
