The U in Hot Water

I knew I did not say it right. My point was a 4.0 double major with all the extra curricular stuff she did and she was passed over for grad school. But if she was a 2.5 student with a crossover and a jumpshot colleges would be begging for her services. Athletes come before students all day long

You just said what I have been saying all along. It's evident in the High Schools and elementary schools. They supply a bus for the football team, the basketball team, the wrestling team and parents have to drive the Academic Team to competitions because there is no money for a bus. Don't tell me that the boosters provide that money because they don't. Academics is not as important to our school boards as athletics. It's because they don't bring in the money!
