This "article" was a slanted opinion piece. I once took a professional development course that included a heavy critical thinking component. One of the things we did was take a heavily slanted newspaper article on a slam dunk topic (think Charlottesville) and tear it apart looking for actual facts. Nearly everyone in the room went from one side to the other after stopping to think critically about the article.

What are the actual facts behind the story? No idea. They might line up with exactly what the guy is implying. But we know very little more after reading this than before.

Frankly, I'm not sure what additional advantages one would think is appropriate for someone in basketball and football beyond having everyone in the region know your name and face, along with a bit of hero worship. Not enough advantages to go along with free college?
