highthief, I think you would be dismayed at the number of football players that actually attend classes at Division I universities. The percentage declines at the traditional powerhouses. On the flip side, schools that actually expect players to attend classes have poor records, almost as a rule.
The same statistics stand for basketball, with a few notable exceptions (Duke, the entire Patriot League, etc.).
It is a sad fact that most Division 1 athletes are not there to learn. Most are there to continue to play. It is even more unfortunate when you learn that the same fact holds true in Divisions II and III, albeit to a much lesser extent.
