re: Top BCS Academic schools?

Ever play college sports? Class time and then you put in 2-3 hours of practice time and football classroom/film sessions. College athletes really don't have a WHOLE lot of extra time to do a lot of studying. Then....a lot of them want to still get in time to socialize. (Read: get into trouble doing stuff they shouldn't be doing) It is a lot harder for a college athlete to graduate than a regular student because of all the time restraints.

You don't have to agree...but it IS true.
