Now that college athletes are professionals
- Thread starter Euro
- Start date
I say yes because many of them don't have long careers if any career. Have a career you can fallback on and love to work.
Right. 90 % of these guys will never make a dime playing pro ball. They better put that free education to good use.
Some being on their 3rd school, I doubt if an education means anything to them
Too bad. What are they going to do when the money dries up?
As long as they pay to go to class, fine! Free rides for schooling of NIL athletes should be a thing of the past!
That's a great idea that makes way too much sense
Years after I graduated from IU, I was a full time LEO and I elected to go to school at night to earn a MS in Forensic Science.
So, I said YES.
Do they go to class? Is the portal QB who just had his Benz and Lambo stolen in jeopardy of suspension if he just blows off classwork? The entire construct is a ****ing joke....a very, very bad joke.
It's the "Animal House" Conundrum. Seven Years of my life wasted. Assuming They didn't waste their NIL Money on overpriced cars and pizza, They can always go back when They are ready and pay for it themselves.
I don't know for certain but just from what I recall over the past few years it would seem that most of our players aren't just graduating, they're graduating early..., and several of our Portal guys have picked up or are progressing towards graduate degrees...
Now it may be the case elsewhere, but in my opinion, the "dumb jock" who doesn't go to class type seems that be the exception here at INDIANA rather than the rule...
Do they all go to class...... Probably take a lot of on line stuff and get things of help. It used to be normal to hear about kids getting in trouble for missing class or getting suspended for low grades. This never happens now.
Portal guys take all classes on line. Never leave stadium. Could not find Ballentine on a bet! LOL
