8%

ok, so i read with dismay that only 8% of university of ky basketball players actually graduate from college, placing this top 5-ranked ncaa team in the bottom of the graduation-rate heap........pitiable that these guys who 'bleed blue' are not supported off-court to do anything but move on to the nba.....and since so few players make it to the nba...that leaves ex-uk players to try to make a living selling used cars or doing kids basketball camps or leading country-church revivals in hopes they pass the plate........absolutely outrageous that these players are used to the advantage the school and it's donor alums....a modern-age form of indentured servanthood......and yet these talented high school standouts grab at the chance to play at schools like u.k........do these players, and their mammas not get it that they will probably get nothing close to a college education?.......f the system was honest, schools would simply pay these guys outright to play ball.....and give those scholarships to somebody who has the time and the talent to actually show up for class......
