OSU sports

Sports are the #1 priority and concern. At Ohio State University sports are more important than academics. Athletes are spoon-fed academics during weekly tutoring sessions outside of the classroom. Academics are the least important thing in the life of an athlete and the following activities (including drugs which are kept a secret) prove my point. Illegal and unethical activities have been going on for many years and continue today.
