Reading specialist Mary Willingham says so:

In a CNN story last week, Willingham said her research of 183 football or basketball players at UNC from 2004 to 2012 found 60 percent reading at fourth- to eighth-grade levels and roughly 10 percent below a third-grade level. She said she worked with one men's basketball player early in her 10-year tenure who couldn't read or write.

at first I read this as "UIC athletes illiterate?" which was going to invoke the obvious response of "....UIC has athletes?"

When Michael Jordan was asked why he majored in geography at North Carolina, his response: "I knew I would be going places, and I just wanted to know where I was when I got there".

It's a good thing he attended North Carolina instead of Duke or he would have no clue where Mattoon is.

Jordan graduated.

I think they will let you in and hang around with no ability but they won't give you that diploma.

Man, you're having a banner day even by your lofty standards.
