Florida Principal Bars Vols Recruiters -- By: Clay Travis of Fanhouse

"The average SAT at Pahokee is 780, the average ACT is 16.3, the school is below average in every major statistical computation used for testing students. Yet the principal of this school is trying to keep students from receiving scholarship offers from one particular college. Something, to be honest, he doesn't have the actual authority to do. A public high school principal can't ban one particular college -- his rival no less -- from recruiting athletes. Put simply, he doesn't have the authority to single them out. All he does is make overworked educators look out of touch, petty, and unintelligent."

I also enjoyed the suggestion

That Alejo should be fired for not doing everything he could to help a student receive a college education.

He should. Flat out.

I feel like this is akin to the doctor’s Hippocratic oath. Instead of doing everything to help a patient, he should be doing everything to help these student athletes.

now with less meyton panning.
