Why american universities have sport teams?
Why american universities have sport teams?
Because it's the only thing American universities have to offer.
their unis are so easy they have to do something to keep kids busy
bc our universities were originally four-year getaways innawoods for young men from wealthy families to connect with other intelligent, young men from wealthy families while expanding their horizons and doing all the stuff guys in their early 20s like to do--including sports.
When college went mainstream in America, we never grew out of the decadent and unnecessary traditions of universities, which is an enormous reason why our schools are so much more expensive than yours.
...
i hate america as much as the next guy, but our universities are million times harder than anywhere else in the world.
we actually get grades, not just pass fail, and have class every single day while the culture is that you spend more time doing work out of class than in class
They have larger stadiums than most professional sport teams. That's some weird shit
he really believe this.
so BLACK athletes can have SEX with blonde volleyball girls and cheerleaders
do blacks actually go to university in usa?
> tfw when my school is posted on Zig Forums
How do those athletes graduate if they spend most of their time playing sports?
Yes and my personal experience is that they are really some of the worse students even though I’m sure there are good ones out there. My only experiences with them have been disruptive.
don't forget most of uni kids also work in usa
They take easy majors and get put in special classes with all athletes where they get special attention and mandated study time. I will grant them that it is still a huge time commitment.
of course
>the land of "curving the grade"
>hard university
usually they have access to tutors, and if they go to a big name school and play a big name sport, the professor will just straight up hand them A's at the direction of the university.
everyone at my school who had a job worked fewer than 10 hours per week
>the land where 51% is a passing grade on par with 90%
>real schooling
51% is 3.0
90% is 4.5/5.0
Those are different grades
My university holds national competitions in sports like who can drink the most beer without pissing themselves or puking. In the end the winner gets to take his cock out and piss handsfree infront of the crowd. The prize is usually a beer. There's a balding incel from KTH with a massive brown cock despite being a ginger that wins every year.
And in the US we have like 15 different grades for 65% - 100%, and anything less you don't get credit for, and even averaging less than 80 is considered bad and that you may as well not have taken the class.
Doesn't mean that that 51% is easy to earn
Also, curves are only a joke at Harvard and maybe like 10 other well-known, private schools.
I had classes where I was curved down (e.g. averaged 85%, but ended up only getting credit for 75%), and when I've been curved up it's been bc the average score for a test was like 41% which means that the test so hard that more than half of the class didn't even come close to earning a passing grade with the raw score.
both of my examples were intro level courses, too.
Its basically where American Football started, from the beginning it was just College football until pro football started getting bigger.
I don't think that's actually true, it might be but most people I know did not work, this might be counting people who are taking classes part time at a community college.
I don't really see how you work and go to college
They take an easy major and get a tutor to do their work
To be fair this does not make a difference at all. Make questions harder or decrease the given time and the average grade drops down. What we should be comparing is the fail rate - sadly I can't find any statistics.
>average score for a test was like 41%
Yeah sounds about right for Poland, there are classes that most people fail
6 year graduation rate for American college students is like 58%
Education and althetics are supposed to both be encouraged
>the land of "curving the grade"
Is this a thing? I've never actually been in a class that did this.
Answer is the same as most, money. College sports are big money makers for most schools.
i'm pretty sure this is a myth.
other than basketball and football at the same few dozen division one schools, i bet 99% of sports teams at american colleges are net money loser.
which pisses me off bc the athletes get preferential treatment on top of already getting a scholarship and taking away a spot from somebody who actually deserved it.
