A college campus wouldn't be a college campus if every student looked the same, had similar skills, talents and backgrounds. Schools need mathematicians, musicians, vocalists and athletes to be institutions of higher learning.

While academic ability is a necessity for any college student, not all prospective students are created equal in terms of classroom performance. Many institutions can fill their student bodies with high school valedictorians, but they choose to diversify to enhance the overall experience for those who are enrolled. Sometimes, that means admitting a student-athlete who may not be the most impressive academic candidate.

When students who are more at-risk are admitted, institutions have a responsibility to help them adapt to the college environment. In today's conversation, NCAA President Myles Brand discusses the resources needed to help student-athletes reach the most important goal - graduation.
