IT IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE STUDENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO GRADUATE BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF WHAT IS BEING OFFERD THEM. PS - the studydoes not address how many athletes "black or white" leave early for the NBA,NFL etc, and then choose not to finish school. this again skews the actaul numbers. it cant lways be about being black--it has to be about the individualtaking responsiblity for themselves. signed- not athletic enough for a scholarship........ it is NOT the universities responsibility to “graduate” its students- be they athletes or regular students
