This article on the UNC situation shows how to lose one's academic integrity. Notice it takes the complicity of a number of people outside of athletics to get this kind of situation going. Hence it probably does not occur at most institutions. But the pressure, especially for FBS schools, is there.
To continue a trend: Cardale Jones, an OSU freshman QB, tweeted the following: "Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS."
Don't get me started on this one! It won't be pretty and you know it!
