Absolutely this ... you have to factor in the ratio of student athletes to non athletes and how both of those comprise the entire student body to paint a more precise picture. Only ppl with an agenda talk about half of them being non athletes. Hell, student athletes only make up about 2% of the entire body. [laughing]They handle that in the paragraph above:
"student-athletes received preferential access to these anomalous courses, enrolled in these anomalous courses at a disproportionate rate to that of the general student body"
