One football player was tired of teachers and students makingcomments under the general assumption that student-athletes wereless intelligent or inferior students to those not playing sports.To get rid of the “dumb jock” labels, he compared the results on acollege readiness assessment of student-athletes and non-athletes.On this particular assessment, a student could receive thefollowing scores: “under-prepared,” “on-track,” or “college-ready.”He recorded the following chart:
| Under-Prepared | College-Ready |
Athlete | 88 | 224 |
Non-Athlete | 127 | 300 |
