[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 1031488, member: 13032"] Thanks for the article. It applies to UW, and yes, they have held athletes to higher standards. That's still very subjective. I'm just using common sense. Even if these athletes were otherwise eligible for a college like UW, and I'm sure many aren't, these are not scholastic scholarships. They're athletic scholarships and based on a student's prowess in a sport, not academia. I'm sure the universities do more to help these students, and that's good. A degree should mean something (even if it gets completed in more than 4 years in a "soft" major). I doubt that the average DI athlete takes a course load as challenging as other students. In the end, a degree is a degree. But most athletes aren't studying for a career in anything other than a sport. So the DI universities look more like the NFL minor leagues for athletes than they do a real university, and I'm sure the course load and the study requirements reflect that. [/QUOTE]
