When you have schools like Notre Dame, who graduate a very high percentage of their athletes, able to compete at a high level with great success, it shows you dont have to fudge "education" to get a good team. There are other examples too, I just know ND has always had a 90%+ grad rate.
When these guys and girls get more special treatment with free passing grades, they continue to expect it when they get OUT of school.
