On to a good story about football. Our local college in a town of 3000 people has been importing about 100 bros for the football team. This is in northern North Dakota. The good news is that due to poor grades and just about zero graduation there will be no football team anymore. Hip hip hooray. Ed k

About 35 years ago, a wealthy businessman man in a nearby town rolled out the funding for a private school. They were regularly getting pounded by the other 2 local public high schools on the basketball court, because they were all White and the public school's players were all Black. So, the private school started giving out "scholarships" to a select group of students, who just happened to be all Black basketball players. They went from being the doormat to a team that has won a couple of state titles.


What they don't want people to know, is that it cost this school a ton of money each year in keeping those Black players eligible scholastically by hiring tutors. Locally, they are known as the "best team Mr. xxxxx's money can buy."

High schools have fixed jocks grades forever.
If "student athletes" really had to be students first, a lot of schools would not have teams.
Mostly urban schools.

You can’t have a good team without some bros at the skilled positions
