Abstract
Athletic programs oftentimes use their prestige and money to attract individuals from minority and low-income households and those that have no academic goals beyond using college football as a platform to play professional football. Many times when individuals examine issues concerning college athletics, particularly college football, they have a difficult time separating what the symptoms or undercurrents of the problem are from the actual problem. According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), an institution is a repeat violator "if a second major violation occurs within five years of the start date of the penalty from the first case". The NCAA has had to put extensive rules in place defining what a "proper" relationship is between an institution and a student-athlete because incidents have taken place over the years that necessitate such standards.
