Grade Inflation In Everything

Tonight, Alabama plays Penn State, who is starting a new QB. His stats on the night: 13/29, 144 Yards, 0 TD, 2 INT. That's an NCAA QB rating of 72.4, or an NFL QB rating of 31.4 (no, I don't know why that's different). This is the reason why Penn State is currently down by 3 touchdowns.

The play-by-play announcer asks the color commentator what grade he would give the new QB's night.

"I'd give him a B-. Lots of room for improvement, but not bad for a guy in his first big game."

I weep for the future of Higher Education in this country.
