As sin !
It was the colleges/universities, at the highest levels, that created fluff classes for the sole purpose of accommodating their academically challenged athletes.
And those classes do nothing to help prepare those athletes for a life after football !
Bob Lehmann, who I believe was a captain on the 1963 team was an engineering major.
There were no “fluff” courses when I was at ND.
When the players on a number of teams introduce themselves on TV and their majors are announced, it’s almost embarrassing.
But make no mistake, this academic facade and fraud isn’t something that can be attributed to the Athletic Departments, it’s the college’s/university’s administration that created these “fluff” courses.
Where has the NCAA been when it comes to policing institutional subversion of academic standards ?
