Yeah, but according to those statistics, they seem to be failing and experiencing the consequences at a much higher rate than the rest of us. Wait, let me qualify that. The rest of us who fall into the legal resident category.

Are you saying that the majority of players are here illegally??????? Who would have known!

If anything I would blame a higher failure rate on the school systems that pushed sports players through school and handed out grades that would keep them playing and winning for the school without actually teaching them anything. Then instead of learning what they need to know, they grab assed through life like the party would never end.
