Rhodes Handicapping, or Slowing the Pace of Integration.

Allen, William B.

New Perspectives, v19 n1 p19-24 Win 1988

Proposition 48 of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which calls for tougher academic standards for students seeking to participate in Division I athletics, discriminates against Black athletes and historically Black colleges and universities. Furthermore, the best athletes are not always the best students; the bill limits the field for athletic prowess. (BJV)
