Petrie says, “The athletic department might actually be more concerned with athletes’ eligibility than with their academic work” (3). In this essay Petrie states, “Colleges give student athletes preferential treatment” (4). On the other hand, a nonathletic student would have to be very sick to even be considered for this kind of
The Backwards BCS The Backwards BCS Bill Reitz Excelsior College The Backwards BCS Abstract To provide the reader with a working knowledge of the components that comprise the Bowl Championship Series. The Backwards BCS The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Must Go The Bowl Championship Series is a corrupt and wrong headed system. The BCS has about as much chance of determining a true national champion as one legged man in a rear end kicking contest. This bizarre system in which a combination of data entered into a series of computer programs, votes from coaches,
Indeed, Luke and Matt’s life are changed forever, especially for Matt. Due to Matt’s actions towards Marie, he chooses to give up his chance to go to university, which could have gotten him out of impoverishment and give him the future where he can fully support his family. In Kate’s eyes, giving up this opportunity is a lifelong regret. However, she fails to realize that whether Matt is happy or not is what really matters. Matt now has a son, a good wife, and an ordinary life; he still has a good family life without going to university.
Most be thinking very important right…… Well Damon Beres expresses how he felt about the process of getting into his dream college. We all know that of course college is no easy game, nor a fun relaxing process to begin with. Beres talks about
It will discuss how it was unfair to students that were entering college for sports gave minorities an unfair advantage to all, not just non-minorities. This paper will provide examples how the affirmative-action was not working to help everyone obtain a higher education. Many elite universities in the United States have delved into the issue of affirmative-action and the role affirmative action plays during the admission stage. Many universities automatically give minorities, African Americans and Hispanics, up to 230 points on a 1600 point SAT scale. Those entering for sports reasons obtain 200 admission points.
I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naive. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.'' ( Ellison, Ralph. Invisible Man 11) The narrator certainly profited from behaving that way since he got the chance to go to college in the end: ''On my graduation day I delivered an oration in which I showed that humility was the secret, indeed, the very essence of progress.''
It is obviously not fair if it is denying teams the right to play in the national championship game. Even choosing the rankings by human polls are subject to bias. This has been cited as one reason the University of Utah was kept out of the 2008 championship game. One third of the standings are based on how the coaches rank the teams. This assumes that coaches have time to watch all of the games while they also are preparing their teams each week.
These companies which profit off the impulses of the weak will no longer hold sway over our government like they do. James D. Scurlock wrote about the rising amount of influence the credit card companies hold in his article “Maxxed out”, “When it came time to testify, however, Trisha and Jane found themselves opposing the financial industry and its lobbyists, who were ‘discussing how much money they contributed to each congressman’s campaign’,” (Scurlock 154) For student loan debts we can bring back the near extinct concept of “Grants” which is where money is given, not lent, in order for students to achieve educational success. The money given from the government to the student pays for the student’s education so that when he is done with school, he goes out, gets a good job and makes society better in a little way. And when many make something just a little bit better, then the whole things starts to get noticeably better
Since colleges have no mechanism to enforce gun-free zones, these killers had a government guarantee that their victims would be unarmed and defenseless. According to the FBI, crime on campus is rising; Worse yet, experts tell us campus crime is underreported. Colleges can't keep criminals from being armed because criminals never ask permission. But rather than considering that criminals fear armed victims more than signs, colleges peddle imaginary problems as an excuse not to implement real solutions. Now with legislators in 12 states considering "campus carry" legislation, critics are baselessly insisting campus violence will escalate.
