Athletics vs. Admissions

News out of the University of South Carolina today, where Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier is steaming mad that two of his recruits won’t be at practice this week…because they weren’t admitted to the school.  
This isn’t the first time this has happened to Spurrier, and now he’s making veiled threats at leaving if the school doesn’t relax its admissions standards for athletes.  

Sure, the idea of the scholar-athlete may be a bit antiquated, but can coaches at least put up a façade of academic integrity?
