Also not that uncommon for the star HS quarterback to be functionally illiterate yet passing all classes with the required GPA for athletics participation.

To be fair, the absurd thing is that in order to have a career in sport he excellent at, he needs to go to university. Not being university material is stupid reason for not being able to do sports professionally.
