Rome Before the Fall: Deion and College Sports

A recent USA Today article stated that Deion Sanders has found “his calling” as a college coach and leader of young men. God help us. This is a guy who has always been about himself first and whose previous involvement with education at Prime Prep was at best a disaster, at worst illegal. His hiring is also a poor reflection on the college and athletic director, whose choice smacks of desperation. Like too many others, he seems to be blinded by Deion’s BS. In this case, he somehow overlooked the Prime Prep history. It’s a sad commentary on the state of D1 college sports and our society today.

Quote of the Day: NCAA Eligibility Knowledge

Does the NCAA count pluses (B+) and minuses (C-) when calculating eligibility?

 

This from a longtime Athletic Director in an urban school district, one that produces many scholarship athletes. Neither the AD or the school counselor knew the answer, and they’re not alone. This happens at schools all over the country.
