Take a knee

Sanctions against schools who compromise the health of their athletes would provide stronger incentives to abide by the “best practices” that already exist.

COLA classes also provide the opportunity for weekly, direct communication with academic advisors because the professor in charge of the COLA is also the academic advisor for everyone in that class.
