[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1031423, member: 7261"] Believe it or not, some of us athletes made time to study, work a part time job and carry a full credit (15) load each semester, while maintaining a pretty decent GPA. Personally, I think the whole "when do they study" thing is totally overblown and/or misunderstood. Some of the major sports have mandatory study halls that athletes are require to attend. Many of the athletes have access to tutoring. I won't even go into some of the majors and academic requirements that allow some athletes to stay in school. Finally, most athletes are 1 sport athletes, which leaves them quite a few months when they probably aren't "overwhelmed" in their sport. Honestly, the elephant in the room in many cases is this. Some athletes would not even be attending a college or at least that specific college, if it wasn't for their athletic abilities. Without their athletic abilities they might not gain acceptance. Maybe they don't have the money to afford it or maybe college just isn't in the cards for some of them. One could probably say the same thing about someone who is academically gifted, but can barely throw a ball. The system worked just fine without NIL money for how many years? Personally, I view NIL money, in most cases, as a tool used to legally bribe players to attend a particular college. I am fine with scholarships and a very limited amount of "NIL money". However, once it began to tip the scales of being obscene amounts of money, as well as flat out bribery, IMO, it became a black eye on College Sports. [/QUOTE]
