This is one of my favorite sore pointz: taking a bunch of
IQ-75 DAFNz into the major universities, calling them "students"
merely for the purpose of having good football/basketball teams.
They all get "tutors" to do their homework and term paperz.

------------------
They aren't genetically defective, as proven by some of them who
suddenly develop in their studies and leave athletics. The ones
who need homework-cheats have been cheated themselves throughout
their early life by this society. Just because they continue to
behave as the cheated child does, is evidence only that they were
cheated out of their formative years of education.


Because such good teams hype the alumni, get them donating lots
of money to the alma mater, that'z why. Ditto paying the coaches
five times as much as the president of the university, or dean of
the medical school. Absolutely disgraceful.
It'z academic prosititution, makes money so it'z OK.

Agree, but it doesn't make it genetic.


Universities are about INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT AND ACCOMPLISHMENT.
If *MONEY* is what they are after, why not just open a casino and
whorehouse next to the campus and make some Really_Big_Money
while keeping the school academically and intellectually pure.

---------------------
If you fund them so well that they don't have to worry about money,
then they will be, but so far no ignorant body-politic has done so.


The last University of Washington entering freshman class
(4500 students), after the the recently-passed state law
eliminating racial preferences, had only 138 DAFNz.

--------------
Doesn't make it genetic, it is merely what happens when children
are cheated out of the education we owe them.


Just about enough to re-stock the teamz for those IQ-75 "studentz"
who had used up their athletic eligibility...

------------------------
Still isn't genetic.
