Jockocracy Tee

(rarely spelled as "jocktocracy") A scholastic environment (usually college/university, sometimes high school) where sports/athletics are placed as the highest priority of “education”, above (often far above) all others. Sports/athletic participants (“jocks”) are viewed, by those in charge, as the greatest heroes of this environment. They are usually aware of this, and take unfair advantage of it – usually exerting unfair influence on non-jocks, and non-athletic instructors. Often, they get away with this more freely than others would. (This usually drags down the actual educational standards of the entire institution.) Commercial work situations managed by rabid sports fans can have a similar situation.
