I do not claim to be an expert on college sports, but what I
do know, is that better care could be taken towards the well-being of the
athletes (and I mean beyond strength and conditioning). Graduation rates need
to go up, especially in athletes of color, and how do you expect kids to
understand all the NCAA rules if the rules are subjective?
“Wrestler Loses Scholarship for
Posting His Music Online” (http://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2013/02/21/wrestler-loses-scholarship-posting-his-music-online),
and from what I understand he posted his own original music, made no profit,
and was trying to inspire people. It seems sometimes that the athletes who do
some really bad things (can we say sexual assault) get protection, and the
wrong ones get punished. What is going to happen to this student now? Will he
graduate from college or was this his only shot?
As I said, I do not claim to be an
expert, but something seems off to me here. What are your thoughts? Did they do
the right thing?
