The New York Times last Sunday printed an expose on a “high school” that turns athletes with poor grades into players with academic records good enough to qualify for a college scholarship.
The school is University High School in Miami, which has no educational accreditation and no classes, but athletes who are struggling at their regular schools are able to take correspondence courses from it which, in turn, are recognized by major colleges for scholarships.
….The NCAA, not surprisingly, is oblivious.
“We’re not the educational accreditation police,” the NCAA’s managing director for membership services told the newspaper.
