In Claeys Lounge Monday evening, a movie that depicted college athletes getting no education stunned the audience. How can students of an institution not learn a single thing during their four years at college? That was what many in the audience were pondering after a 15-minute video. After the video, Mark Nagel, visiting professor from University of South Carolina, asked Mary Willingham, the whistleblower of the UNC scandal, a few questions.

Willingham, co-author of “Cheated,” started off, in her cheery tone, answering questions that continued to shock the audience.
