The NCAA defines the 100 Most Influential Student-Athletes as those who have made a significant impact or major contributions to society.I would say that Magic has made a significant impact and major contributions, so he definitely deserves to be on the list. But wait, what's that? Who's right above him on the list???
Bird? Are you kidding me? I get the "significant impact" part, but it only applies to "Bird the Athlete." Magic Johnson is still a major sports personality and his charitable work has been hugely beneficial to everyone involved. The fact that they were even paired together is a farce. The guys on the selection committee probably thought it was funny....
