The only memorable scene in Spike Lee’s “He Got Game” is where the main character, a highschool basketball star on a college recruiting trip, gets banged by two college girls in order to persuade him to attend that particular school. It was enough for me to curse my parents for not teaching me how to dribble a ball and not giving the genetics to be over five foot seven inches. Life just ain’t fare.
Well, in life immitating art, or maybe Spike was telling naive little me what others already know, apparently colleges have been using young chippies to entice impressionable young football recruits for some time. If I didn’t find football so boring, I’d hate my parents for not cramming that game down my throat like some demented Texas pigskin idealogue.
All joking aside, this has to stop. At the University of Colorado, the recruits sense of entitlement has come to the alledged rape of a woman. Apparently, someone promised the two football players the would get laid.
Couple that rape incident at CU with the graduation rates of football players at the big schools, I’m led to believe that universities are no longer concerned with academics.
Perhaps ALL NCAA schools Division 1 through Division 3, should follow the lead of the Division 3 programs and get rid of all sports related scholarships. Schools are for learning not for football and rape.
