E-mail address for an ESPN writer

I would like to send the writer of this article a sharply worded rebuke to a part of his article.

Namely this section:

IN SIX academic quarters at Ohio State, Maldonado had earned a decent number of credits (his 57 were the equivalent of about 40 at a semester school). He compiled a 2.3 GPA and had never lost his eligibility. But his coursework included four credits for playing football, three for Tressel’s Coaching Football class, 10 for remedial reading, 10 for remedial math and three for Issues Affecting Student Athletes. Six other credits wouldn’t transfer because he earned D’s in two classes. Maldonado couldn’t understand how he had earned only 17 transferable credits in two years. Even today the number pinballs around his head. “What kind of degree can you get from Ohio State if none of your classes count at other colleges?” he asks.

I would like to explain to the author that 57 credits in 6 quarters is not a “decent number”. I for example took 51 the last two quarters. I would also like to explain why you don’t get credit for remedial studies i.e. classes for shit you were supposed to learn in high school.
