College athletes read like 5th graders

[KC Shox]

Nevermind the smoke and mirrors that universities pull to get these athletes admitted, but once enrolled how do these individuals continue to get the grades necessary to advance? How do programs continue to get the necessary APR scores to not get penalized? No way can these guys graduate with the reading level reported. Disturbing.

Some college athletes are Rhodes scholars, even at places like Florida State (e.g., Myron Rolle). Others, such as Jameis Winston, probably will not be.
