(It's here I'd note that basketball (and, most notably, the efforts of generally poor, black kids) presently subsidizes the education of these (generally, rich, white) kids who weren't qualified to get into the schools in the first place).

That’s the most bizarre thing. Like how does someone get admitted as an athlete, but they weren’t even on rosters or anything like that.

So dumb. NCAA is completely deflating more and more each day.
