Sports Rap interviews UNC learning specialist and whistleblower Mary Willingham and history professor Jay Smith about their criticisms of college athletics--specifically the exploitation of men's basketball and football players who are admitted into universities without adequate preparation for college-level academics. The interview touches on Willingham's current research on the reading levels of revenue sport athletes at UNC Chapel Hill, and the book that Willingham and Smith are working on together, which addresses the ongoing academic-athletic scandal at UNC as well as, more broadly, their ethical concerns about the NCAA.
