Yes, Let Us Lower College Football Admissions Standards

Because the educations of college athletes aren’t maligned enough in popular culture, junior college football players are now suing the NCAA over transfer rules, saying the regulations governing entrance into a D-I school (and a D-I team) are overly stringent. It’s a goofy idea for a whole bunch of reasons, and one of our Alabama bloggers takes a healthy swing at the worst of the lot:

↵[It’s] hard to feel sympathetic for the JUCO players named in the lawsuit, and it’s even harder to legitimately justify an even greater dumbing down of the academic standards of modern day college football.
↵Why, yes, we here in the SEC are getting a good laugh over being told our standards of admission are too high! Thank you for asking.
