The storyline for this film is so theatrical and captivating to the point of appearing to be crafted from fiction. It follows the careers of two high school boys, Continue reading...

Since the National Collegiate Athletic Association, also known as the NCAA, already extends scholarships and funds to pay for tuition, fees, room and board, and other allowable expenses, the NCAA should continue not to pay the student athletes who participate in athletics.

Just like any other job you go to college to hone your skills and advance them for the future. The advantages student athletes receive from the NCAA are more than generous. According to the “National Collegiate Athletic Association” (ncaa.org), Continue reading...

Mary Lefkowitz’s book Not Out of Africa: How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth as History is Lefkowitz’s defense of the teaching profession against people who view the opportunity to teach a college class as a chance to inculcate the next generation with one’s own political views.

Athletes who lack motivation are likely to skip regular session of training and hence may not get to fully train with the required intensity.
