[Realist]

Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal on athletics and academics.

Thank you v much, realist.

Its a very good article. But i have had classes with athletes and they rarely show up for class. But somehow they pass the class and most of the time get good grades. So, this cracking down will probably lead to just flat out grade giving, rather than grade earning.

On the topic of academics, does anyone know if our seniors are scheduled to graduate?

On a similar note WKU is #1 of teams participating in the tournament when it comes to graduation rates....a very impressive 100%. Congrats to the Toppers players, coaches, and administration.
