News to me, maybe news to you, too.

The following linked article about NCAA athletic scholarships was published in The New York Times on March 10, 2008. It was written by Bill Pennington and is titled "Expectations Lose to Reality of Sports Scholarships."

If Pennington's article was made required reading for all eighth grade athletes and their parents, I wonder how the value placed on high school academics would change.
