Most NCAA Athletes are barely reading at a 4th Grade Reading Level. While $chools make Million$

[WheresWallace]

Athletes test scores from 2008-2014 indicated that
60% of Athletes were reading between a 4th - 8th grade reading level
8% were reading below a 4th grade reading level.

:thinking:



Its probably common knowledge for some but its crazy when you stop and look at it. Some of these guys will NOT go pro and some will go pro and have short professional careers.

It pains me sometimes to listen to the post game interviews of some of these guys. Its a system created to basically farm athletes and from a young age. Kids are being intentionally moved along (not just athletes) and I believe this is being done to ensure the success and the futures of "non athletes"...wink wink.

 

[gho3st]

the decision to go along and not learn is ultimately yours.

 

[Jparker]

They will make millions and can't read

 

[BLAZO da GAWD]

They will make millions and can't read

Only a small percentage do.

so this means a lot of them wouldnt be at these big schools without being elite at sports. hopefully while there they take advantage of the free education while on scholly

 

[Lee_Land]

You mean most D1 football players wouldn't make it pass college admissions if they weren't athletes?










































No shyt

 

[Edi]

this statistics aren't believable to me.

EDIT: she said football players and basketballs in the video. I guess they made the title athletes to be more PC

 

[LurkMoar]

this is all completely true, while i was at tech most of the athletes i encountered were morons



still love em and root for em but...


they were morons


its sad cuse some dudes still fail even tho they basicly get a free "tutor" to do all their work for them

Some of these high schools just give star athletes grades. Especially in small towns.

I'm not going to go in on this like I could but you can tell when you listen to them speak. I'm not speaking dialect or southern drawl. Jameis does have that slave accent but listen to him talk, some intelligent shyt occurs in his head. Others, eh, not so much.

If your public school failed at giving you a good foundation there is no way you can magically keep up at the college level, let alone an elite college level.

That's like not learning basic math but then being expected to do well at calculus.

And at the end of the day; it's the parents fault

If you are willing to mortgage your child's education for a chance at a millionaire bball career, then, you have to expect this

Don't blame this on the big bad boogie man corporations

These parents are willingly involved in this and the schools are profiting

I blame the parents, but, the NCAA is foul, too

 

[The_Sheff]

Why blame the colleges if the kid is reading at a 4th grade level? Clearly he went through grades 5-12 at the same level and nobody gave a shyt.

yup I had to check a teacher once for my step-son both were heated, I and his mother didn't give a fukk. I was about to whip a muthafukka's ass

 

[Houston911]

"Student athlete" is a made up term used to justify exploiting black athletes

Fact
