I know I'm wired differently than most people, especially on this board, but WTF is the big deal here?  Rosen speaks nothing but the unvarnished truth, so how is this even a story worth talking about?

Is it just because he isn't afraid to speak the truth?  Is this the story?  I don't get it.

I think the story is that while others often say things like this for public consumption, it is rare that actual student/athletes do, and if they do they are a little more diplomatic and less blunt about it than Rosen is being.
I also think that people who are saying that Rosen's comments mean he doesn't care about academics are reading things into them that just aren't there.
