Who the hell pays for these studies?

Report: Admissions exemptions benefit athletes

If grades make you a long shot for college, you're much more likely to get a break if you can play ball.

An Associated Press review of admissions data submitted to the NCAA by most of the 120 schools in college football's top tier shows that athletes enjoy strikingly better odds of having admission requirements bent on their behalf.

The notion that college athletes' talents give them a leg up in the admissions game isn't a surprise. But in what NCAA officials called the most extensive review to date, the AP found the practice is widespread and can be found in every major conference.

God, really? You don't fucking say? Fuckin morons! LOL Who the fuck would waste their time compiling this data and announce it in a study with a straight face?

The same fucks who study things like the migratory patterns of duck-billed mallards, or the mating habits of praying mantises, or why the BCS polls actually are the best way to figure out the best college football team.. You know - the real important stuff....
