The whole thing is a joke, and Powe's situation is only a small piece of the problem. It's not like he's the only kid on an SEC roster (or trying to get onto an SEC roster) that can't read. Let's be honest here. SEC coaches are not exactly recruiting Rhodes Scholars.

My issue is moreso with Powe's family and their perceived right to file suite against a school to allow their kid to play college football. Since when was it a God-given right to go to college? Especially when, by your own mother's account, you are dumb as a brick. And for people not familiar with this situation she did make the statement about him not being able to read. In fact, his mother was trying to play the "learning disability" card on Ole Miss at the time and she said a lot of things.

Last I heard a year ago Ole Miss and Orgeron were in deep with this kid and his family. I was under the impression he was going to finally be cleared last year to play, but I guess they're still going at it.
