[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 935325, member: 7261"] I gave you an agree, but to be honest, I am torn when it comes to athletes and college. While a great education is valuable to some, many of these guys probably wouldn't have access to it, if it wasn't for their skills in playing a sport. Access coming in the way of money, as well as qualifying to be accepted at a college. I know quite a few people who got a degree and 10 years later, are doing something totally unrelated to their degree. For many college athletes, we might as well just call their sport their degree. They didn't come to a major university to study art history, they came to play football, basketball, etc. With the hope of landing a job in that field. Their athletic skills unlocked a shot at not just an education, but a springboard to possibly landing a very lucrative job. Many of those athletes end up without a degree, but they can always go back and finish their education to try and obtain one. A few go on to be anywhere from mildly to wildly successful in their given sport. Hopefully, the ones that end up with or without a degree and no professional sports career, got enough out of the experience, that they are prepared for the next phase of their lives. [/QUOTE]
