This is the poster child for all that is wrong with college athletics. The athletes are supposed to be college students hanging out with other non-athlete college students. Not housed in palaces away from regular college students and treated even more like royalty.

Great. Something else we can't afford.

And y'all think we can compete with these schools in the recruiting world? These top players makes coaches looks good. Calamari, Izzo... was out coached by Ollie in 2014. Recruiting is a cut throat business and these schools are doing whatever It takes while walking a fine line without committing violations.

or else........ the fact that an undefeated ucf is no where near the college playoff tells you all you need to know. outsiders will remain outsiders and the gap will only widen with time.

OK so if the UNC athletes allow the non athlete students to come into their athlete only dorm to sit for an hour and socialize when all their schedules call for a non existent course - EVERYTHING is COOL, correct Mr. NCAA???

I'm sure many of those players are socializing with student bodies in those dorms.
