What university? It's important to know what university actually cares about the football players being able to pretend to write. I tutored football players years ago in chemistry. Imagine requiring football players to take chemistry, physics, and calculus (along with English, Social Science, Mechanical Drawing, Foreign language, Phys. Ed in the freshman year) and take off time for road and bowl games. Some of the guys were among the best and most organized students I have known. Most of the dumb ones never got in or dropped out quickly. They may have gone to your university <g>.

My husband taught Legal Writing at one point, and some of the papers turned in by law students were impressively bad. They ranged from the severely grammatically challenged to the students who thought that the longer the sentence, the more multi-syllabic the words, and the more obscure the meaning, the better. I don't know which is worse. I suppose in the law field the latter is preferred.
