More evidence that the COLLEGE part of college athletics is a farce

It may be a small percentage but its the percentage that is the face of the game. It's a problem and one that should be at least addressed, if not a serious attempt to fix. I understand the notion that it's only a few guys but when is the last time ESPN didn't mention Simmons on a broadcast? He only needs a 2.0 to be eligible for the award. Seriously, a fricking C avg? That's just not even trying bc he knows he is gone

It's not the face of the game for us officials. The overwhelming majority of college officials work games involving true student-athletes.

I am not sure I have ever officiated a single kid that even made the NBA at the college ranks. HS, I have had maybe two.
