ENG 102 HW1 National championship Alabama canceling classes

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • It seems that Alabama is making a pretty big statement by canceling classes, and it is that football is much more important than the classes being taught at the university.
  • Alabama decided to cancel classes starting on Wednesday, January 6th until Friday, January 8th in order to allow more fans to make their way out to California.

    This article is prime example of how a school (Alabama) cares more about football than school by canceling classes so students could go support their team in the national championship In California. So for the students that are there for an education have to now have a more bunched up learning schedule until finals.

  • Fact 1: Enthusiasm for football has never been higher -- not just for the NFL, but with young boys and teens. Participation in prep football has increased 21 percent in the past 20 years, by nearly 200,000 boys per year, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. Many states have begun to allow what is essentially year-round football practice. Youth-league tackle football is expanding. American boys are devoting more time and effort to football than ever before.
  • Fact 2: In higher education, student populations are increasingly female. Twenty years ago, there were more men in college than women. Now there are more women, and the ratio of college women to men is rising.

    Boys are spending their time playing football while girls are taking the slots that are available otherwise occupied by males. This is on a rise and the country has noticed and made more year-round youth football tackle football. Football correlates with grades.

    This article compares all of the schools in the pac-10 division G.P.A. and S.A.T. scores. Which helps me compare ASU and U of A better, but what helps the most is it compares the football players.
