Terrible Essay Adds to College “Illiterate Jock” Scandal

We've all hear the jokes about "rocks for jocks" and dumbed-down curricula for college athletes.

The 146-word paper, written about civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, came to light this month, when Mary Willingham, a long-time tutor at UNC - decided to blow the whistle on ESPN.

The Younk Turks report that Willingham has been the subject of threats.
