Exactly. God forbid a poor kid from the ghetto learn how to read and earn a degree in college.
According to CNN they shouldn't be in college.

It's an elitist crock of shite.
They're pointing fingers at the universities for bettering a kid's life on the premise that universities are for learned scholars only. Give me a fricking break. That may have been true in the 50's when high schools were designed to seed students into categories of future employment. But, now, colleges are already shells of their former selves due to the cash grab that has become the "college experience" every American feels entitled to. Taking in poorly educated athletes and building them up does not realistically hurt the university.
