this is a sad story of how a corrupt semi professional sports organization that is loosely affiliated with an academically mediocre school with a powerful corporate sponsor used a young man
cliff harris was a blue chip recruit out of edison high school in fresno, a "can't miss" prospect he was told by the runners, street agents & recruiters
harris had a 2.5 gpa & oregon lured him to eugene with luxurious athletic facilities, promises of almost no schoolwork (they delivered on that commitment) & a future lucrative shoe contract with nike, the same story that's been repeated hundreds of times most recently to sabrina ionescu & troy brown jr
oregon didn't expect anything from cliff other playing football on a football field with a football & led the ducks to a bcs championship game...they looked the other way re: failure to make any academic progress & his repeated failed drug tests
eventually harris left oregon without a degree after driving high on i-5 at 118 mph & declared for the nfl draft
harris never got minted in the nfl, never became the minted lockdown cornerback in the league, never got the nike shoe $
football (oregon & nike) used cliff harris, cliff harris did not use football (to become mentally limitless with academic ambition & real life skills)...and criminal dana altman continues to collect paychecks from the university of oregon, a corrupt school obsessed with winning at any cost
just do it (it's fun to not do any schoolwork unless you enter the fiercely competitive global economy that favors the well educated with no marketable skills)#
