  • 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.
