According to a CNN report, the woman who revealed that 10 percent of the student-athletes at the University of North Carolina are reading below a third-grade level has been the subject of multiple death threats.

Worse still, Mary Willingham told CNN, UNC has refused to support the findings of a study it asked her to conduct. According to Willingham, when CNN asked her for data about the scholastic aptitude of student-athletes, she provided the network with information that UNC had collected.

1. Stay Classy, NC!

Not Surprising. Rich Flair (the wrestler) got death threats just for rooting for the 49ers over the Panthers this weekend. People are idiots.

I think those death threats were from Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Rowdy Roddy Piper.

2. And the athletes' reading abilities don't improve with age.

Especially the football players with all their head injuries. These schools just use these athletes, they don't educate them. Sad.
