[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1018760, member: 7261"] Let's be honest though, for many of the players, football IS their education and desired career path. Yes, there are a few that are also elite students and maybe for those guys, a diploma from the UW means more than one from Car Wash Tech. However, if I am a guy who is struggling in school and not seeing much playing time on the field, I'm transferring to a team that I will at least get one last crack at proving my skills on the field. I said it in a previous post, but until Universities stop trying to fool themselves, as well as everyone else, they are going to continue to label these guys "Student Athletes". When in reality many of them are "Athletes, that must be students to play". Would the NCAA except a New College called "University of Athletics, where grades don't matter, but your performance on the field/court does." Imagine if that actually took off and all the elite athletes that didn't want to bother with school flocked to it. [/QUOTE]
