Well, this is two different issues. I don't think it's a false dilemma, b/c if you are a selfish 19-to-21-year-old star hoops player who only cares about the NBA, you simply have no incentive to go to class. Ethics would suggest you do. Maturity would suggest you do. But realistically you don't [I]have[/I] to and that's all most of these kids are conditioned to do.
 
Now, as for the APR issue -- I agree, it's incumbent upon SU to keep these kids eligible. My guess, however, is that those solutions aren't exactly ethical either. I mean, there is no way -- absolutely no way -- all of UK's future first-rounders are faithfully attending classes and studying for exams now, let alone in April. I went to Loyola and you never saw lacrosse players in class until the day of the final. So they were getting grades somehow, but I suppose few asked too many questions.
 
But I agree, they [I]should[/I] go to class and SU [I]should [/I]figure out how to manipulate the APR. I just don't think worrying about ethics is worthwhile.
