    Coaches giving players grades?

    I was on the ESPN message board, and one of the threads was about Ted Ginn's interview on ESPN Gameday or something. I didnt see it, but from what I read he isnt quite as smart as he is good at football. Of course people talked crap back and forth but someone said something about coaches giving players grades. Saying that some players barely go to class and the coaches just make sure they pass so they can play.

    I think this is very true. My mom works at the college I attend and she deals with many of the athletes. She says many of them can barely read or write, and when they fill out paperwork they pretty much only put down their name and then she has to do the rest. This isnt the case with all the athletes of course, but some of them

    Does anyone else have an opinion on athletes getting a complte "full ride".
