Speaks a lot more to the ineptitude of the public education system in this country, specifically southeastern states. I could read by the time I started school, I find it hard to believe that teachers that give half a shite couldn't teach a kid to read in 13 years. (Then again, they aren't paid enough to give half a shite)
Morally, I don't find a problem with schools keeping these kids eligible. At least it gives them a shot to make lives for themselves in professional football

This is particularly what I don't understand. I read The Iliad in 8th grade on my own (because of a disenchantment with The Odyssey) and had been reading for months beforehand.
How on Earth does a person go through life without learning how to read in America?

Schools aren't supposed to be the ones teaching kids to read. That's the parents job. The schools are there to enhance the kids reading ability.
Many kids' parents are failing them. Not the schools. The schools have issues but how can a school be expected to teach a building full of neglected kids everything?
