I am trying to write a paper on Athletics vs. Academics. I need an actual case where a high school athlete did not make the grades, but got into college on his athletic ability. I found several suspicious cases, but nothing that I could actually verify.

Hi, nedrapounds!

If you click on the following search, there will be an article that may be of use to you. It's from the New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/sports/ncaafootball/27school.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

I used the following search to find the article. Athlete Accepted Into College With Bad Grades - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=Athlete+Accepted+Into+College+With+Bad+Grades&spell=1) There may be other sites on that search that might be of use to you.

Thank you, nedrapounds! I would rate you with my thanks, but am unable to do so!
