MN Daily Editorial Board: More emphasis on the “student” portion of “student-athlete"

per the Daily Editorial Board:

The NCAA, as well as a number of athletics departments, has done a poor job emphasizing the importance of academics in the lives of student-athletes. They have subsequently created a culture in which under-the-table payments and academic fraud are not uncommon.

However, coaches, administrators, students and players can change the shady culture of college athletics by demonstrating their commitment to the ideal that academic careers take priority over athletics.

Go Gophers!!
 

Pretty controversial stance! :D

At least it's a step-up from "let's get rid of all sports".
