North Carolina also has a little something called academics.  Louisville is a glorified junior college (at best).
This is questionable.

Check out the academic rankings.  If my kid wanted to travel cross country to attend UNC I would have no objections.

Sure, your kid who is likely not an D-1 revenue generating athlete.

Nope.  Probably better for him to be just a very good student. 

Revenue generating D1 programs are all scum.  There maybe a few exceptions to that statement (Stanford, Vandy...), MU is better than most, but we still live in a glass house.

Stanford and Vandy are probably the head of the class when it comes to RGDIAA (Revenue Generating D-I Athlete Academics), but don't think for a minute these institutions didn't bend the rules even a little bit for guys like Festus, DeMarre Carroll, David DeCastro, etc.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Does MU let in student-athletes that wouldn't gain admission otherwise?  Sure.  Is that mean they are "scum?"  Nope.
