- for 400 bucks you can take three classes in four weeks - or was it four classes in three weeks - and get that GPA up to where you need it for that athletic scholarship, as the football players interviewed did. Transferring to U.H. means you don’t have to pass the FCATs, either.
One would hope they aren’t going to be in business *too* long, but since it’s obviously in the best bottom-line interest of the colleges to get these athletes (who, suprise!, find they don’t have the skills to pass their courses… and end up academically ineligible ina semester unless they’re so good that somebody finds them a loophole there, too) I’m not so sure.
