^Amazing what happens when they actually have to abide by [some] rules. McDonald shouldn’t be playing either, not that he helped much tonight.
Here’s more national coverage for uNX courtesy of our good friend Mary Willingham:

She says:
“As a graduate student at UNC-Greensboro, Willingham researched the reading levels of 183 UNC-Chapel Hill athletes who played football or basketball from 2004 to 2012. She found that 60% read between fourth- and eighth-grade levels. Between 8% and 10% read below a third-grade level.
“So what are the classes they are going to take to get a degree here? You cannot come here with a third-, fourth- or fifth-grade education and get a degree here,” she told CNN.
Yet somehow these dudes graduated? The onion is being peeled back one layer at a time.
