I wonder how many of these pro athletes really put forth some serious effort in school.

you put effort in school to earn money later. U can earn money sooner and a lot more if u a pro athlete. Universities and Colleges are businesses. Sports gets a lotta business. Just the way it is.

Each one, teach one...
I played football in college. A majority of athletes could give a fukk about their education. I would guess that anywhere from 50 to 75% of them are just doing what they have to in order to stay eligible. A lot also had bullshyt majors like parks and recreation, general studies, urban studies, etc.

It Appears North Carolina Has Published Julius Peppers's Transcript For Some Reason
According to a North Carolina State message board on Rivals.com, a 2001 "test" transcript—which UNC claims is used to "help students and advisers use a computer program that tells them what courses a student still needs to graduate."—alluded to the Observer story actually belongs to Julius Peppers, and it is a mess. Both the "test" transcript and Peppers's show a student with a 1.84 GPA. The test transcript majored in African and Afro-American studies. The Peppers transcript shows the majority of his classes were African and Afro-American (AFAM) classes.
The Observer article notes the test transcript shows the student took an AFAM seminar in 2001 and received an A. Peppers transcript shows a 2001 AFAM seminar, yet no grade. The article also mentions the test student took three Independent Studies courses (and was registered for a fourth) in 2001 and received a B or better in each. Peppers transcript shows he received B's in two Independent Studies courses in 2001. He also received a B+ in a 2000 Independent Studies course.
Peppers's agent, Carl Carey was also his academic adviser while at UNC and helped him get a re-test on a failing grade that would have ruled him academically ineligible. In an article previously published on ESPN, Tom Friend relays a story how Carey helped Peppers fight a failing grade in a class—Drama 15—that would have ruled him academically ineligible in Peppers's freshman year. The test transcript showed a D, after an initial F in 1998 fall semester, what would have been Peppers's freshman year.
Despite some inconsistencies, (Peppers' birthday is January 18, 1980 and the test transcript's is listed as February 18, 1980, for instance) it seems safe to assume that the test transcript is actually Julius Peppers's transcript. None of this shocking, a two sport athlete struggling (or not even trying) to keep up with his academics is hardly news. More interesting is why UNC would try to pass off a high profile, terrible student/great athlete's transcript. If the theory is that the school is desperately trying to limit the scrutiny to one man—Butch Davis—using Peppers's transcript is either the height of naivete or incompetency.
Maybe the school is offering up Julius Peppers as a sacrificial lamb, hoping to take its lumps and move on for good. If that's the case, it's the best argument we've had against the hypocrisy of the NCAA. The guy has been out of school for over a decade and now the school leaves breadcrumbs to his transcript to clear what is essentially red tape all the while making Peppers look like some ingrate (you can hear the objections now: "he was getting a free education and did not take advantage of it!"). Read the Friend profile, though. Peppers comes off like a good kid with a crazy workload and a million people in his ear.
Or maybe UNC just accidentally made a student's transcript visible to the entire internet. I wish my school did that, I've got to give my social security number and 35 bucks every time I want a copy of mine.

The other story worth reading....
Behind every great college athlete is … a tutor.
And behind every great two-sport college athlete is … a miracle worker.
I'm reminded of this after visiting with Julius Peppers, the current Carolina Panther who spent two seasons as a Tar Heel football and basketball star. The kid has encountered a series of crises over the last five years -- particularly last November -- and every time, he has gone running to one and only one person: his Tar Heel academic advisor.
Anyone who thinks these tutors are in it for the short term need to hear this story. They need to know that Peppers could be hanging with a posse right now, but instead is hanging with … a PhD.
They met five years ago, under ridiculous circumstances. Peppers was a freshman-to-be who had just been thrown out of North Carolina's summer orientation program. Not only had he repeatedly missed curfew that summer, he'd also ordered a pair of Air Jordans with University stipend money. That was a no-no. And, even worse, the sneakers had been inadvertently delivered to the Dean's office (not Dean Smith's office). This Dean of the school was hardly amused, and sent Peppers home, pronto, telling him not to return until school began.
Meantime, just as Peppers was being thrown off campus, Carl Carey was accepting a job as the North Carolina academic advisor. An assistant football coach named Donnie Thompson hurriedly approached Carey in those first few days and said, "By the way, you have a problem on your hands, and his name is Julius Peppers."
Carey's response was, "How can he be a problem already?" Which is how it all begins.
Eventually, Carey and Peppers are introduced, and when Peppers is told Carey will be "the one to straighten him out," Peppers literally laughs outloud. But this is how most student-tutor relationships start -- with a roll of the eyes.
Of course, when a kid is about to flunk out, that changes. Peppers, in that first semester of his freshman year, failed two classes and found out he had to pass a third class -- Drama 15 -- or be sent home. On the final, Peppers scored a 59.7, which the teacher considered a failing grade. But Carey felt a 59.7 should be rounded up to 60, and was convinced Peppers had passed. Normally, the Dean (not Dean Smith) would be the one to mediate, but the Dean was still angry about the Air Jordans. So Carey never called him. Instead, Carey banged and banged on the door of Peppers' teacher, asking for a re-test. The teacher said yes, and Carey and Peppers crammed together, learning every four theatre productions backwards and forwards. Peppers passed the final exam -- and his life was never the same........READ MORE
