If they want to, yes. If they want to be truly educated, they can do that, too.
I don't see why this isn't a solution. What's with the facade at this point?
Because the NCAA IS a facade. If that gets torn down, so will the entire organization.

Former UNC Player Details Academic Fraud, Says "Everybody Knew"
Powell quoted former football coach Butch Davis as telling players, "If you all came here for an education, you should have gone to Harvard," while explaining that players were directed to take classes in the now-notorious AFAM department.
It gets better.

Two former North Carolina athletes sue school, NCAA over academic scandal
Among the allegations made in the lawsuit are that North Carolina failed to provide “academically sound classes with legitimate educational instruction,” and that the NCAA was negligent in its work to prohibit academic fraud from occurring.

Wow. That's an opportunistic lawsuit if I've ever seen one. That's ridiculous.
Maybe. But if they can show that they were directed toward these particular classes by the university, and especially if it can be shown as endemic within the sport as a class-action, that would be very dangerous for the NCAA, let alone UNC.

They've had their status as an accredited university placed on probation for a year, with the possibility of having it revoked. That's for the whole school.

Wait...so you mean to tell me that highly-recruited athletes pick their schools based off of athletics...and then the people who run said athletics expect them to be more committed to athletics than academics! And then...when said kid who did not care about academics doesn't make it in athletics as he expected, he blames his former athletic department for not forcing him into taking hard classes knowing full well that, if they had, he would have just gone to another school that let him focus on sports? Nothing like some good, ole' fashioned personal responsibility.

The grown-ups are s'posed to be modeling responsible behavior for the kids... set a good example, etc.
In this scenario, the university has the responsibility to be grown-ups. They're s'posed to set high standards and challenge the kids to rise to those standards. They're not s'posed to sink down to whatever half-assed standards the immature jock kids want to slide by on. Blaming the kids for this is ridiculous. The university did it. For decades.
What "responsibility" means starts at the top and filters down. Thats true whether it's a good example or a bad example. It's absurd to expect the kids to show personal responsibility when their superiors who run the joint don't.

I don't disagree at all. But, the NCAA is blaming the universities for participating in problems that the NCAA created. If all of a sudden schools start acting like 'academic institutions', then players will just go to the schools that don't.
