My last thought on this topic, the reports coming from ESPN are accurate in saying that a high percentage of athletes don't graduate.
Athletes ARE held to a higher standard because they reflect their school.
If a Virginia Tech student is caught with drugs, it won't be national news, therefore it won't really reflect upon VT's reputation. If a VT athlete is caught with drugs, it will be all over ESPN and other forms of media, then it DOES reflect upon VT's reputation.
Every single report done by ESPN, Fox, CNN...is reported from a certain angle. Whether it is done to support Obama, trash Hillary, support a certain university, or talk badly about a university. This is no different.
