I guess the completely free education and housing that non-athletes shell out big bucks for doesn't count for anything.
Oh wait, it doesn't because he's a big time athlete - he has no interest in education.
The truth is the schools use the athletes and the athletes use the schools - I don't feel sorry for either side.
A free education? Cam and other Div I big time footballers are not there to get an education. Hell, given how much time they have to put into football, they have neither the time nor energy to pursue academics unless they are superman. You find out all about your education as soon as you try to attend a class or a lab when the football team demands your time
Don't be so naive. These kids are unpaid professionals who produce billions of dollars for rich white guys at the networks, at the shoe companies, at the NCAA, etc.
The idea that poor at year old kids going up against a billion dollar industry are using the system as much as the system us using them is far outside of the realm of commonsense. It is frightening that so many -- like yourself -- buy into this narrative sold to you by that same system. Where is the propaganda apparatus for poor black kids?
