Yeah.... making a living after college is the point. It’s shameful and despicable that guys make it to the pros and can’t even read. Some of its on the system but most of it is on the player. They have an opportunity to get an education that can benefit them their entire lives but many of them are too damned stupid to take advantage of it..... I’ve heard all the arguments about time management and oh it’s so hard.... but it’s all ********. Every year we see guys getting drafted that have already earned their degree.... you know why? Because those guys earned it. They put in the work. They spent their weekends at study hall instead of at house parties... instead of living it up and trying to be a super star they were responsible and did what they had to do to succeed..... and usually those guys who graduate before the draft didn’t get their degree in basket weaving or communications

they have standards in place and they need to enforce them. If a guy can’t get a qualifying score on the SAT and maintain a C average he doesn’t deserve to play college sports

I think we have to get out of this mindset that these players want to go to college. They don't. They want to continue playing a sport, and bridge the gap between high school and the pros. The educational benefits of a college scholarship mean nothing if you never wanted to attend college in the first place.
