How stupid are the players?

[/ QUOTE ]None of them are really that stupid, although some do lack common sense. Remember, they all have to qualify via grades to play Div 1.

Ok, so how much help do they get from profs/students that other students don't receive? Come on, what a cop-out answer.

From talking to friends that played D1 football, there's not a doubt in my mind that athletes get both breaks on requirements and extra help.

[/ QUOTE ]yes, they are offered extra help in the form of tutors/etc...since they cannot work part time jobs and afford their own, the athletic department normally provides them. yes, they get the first opportunity to register for classes.

Getting "extra breaks on requirements" is against the rules and is cheating imo...I (we) do not do that, so I cant speak for that.
