Many college athletes cannot read. Especially football and basketball players.
From CNN:
As a graduate student at UNC-Greensboro, Willingham researched the
reading levels of 183 UNC-Chapel Hill athletes who played football or
basketball from 2004 to 2012. She found that 60% read between fourth-
and eighth-grade levels. Between 8% and 10% read below a third-grade
level.
