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.)
