i actually went to a decent size Uni angus at like nearly 40000 students, and it's D1 w/ numerous pro prospects mainly from the baseball and football (strasburg went to SDSU, for example). Besides that i was literally on essentially the JV basketball team and had to tutor some of them so they could pass (we had players transfer from Syracuse, Florida, and Tenn while i was there on the team, academics were an issue for all of them).
I also had many classes w/ football, soccer players etc... Baseball players seemed to do better overall, but most of those athletes (regardless of race) were barely literate. I was seriously astonished that they had graduated HS, stud or not
