Yes!
I love this.
I don't know what the frick you're taling about.
I do know that many football rosters are made up of young men that are given an opportunity to receive a college education due to their athleticism.
If they weren't talented athletes to begin with, it is doubtful they would ever set foot on a college campus.

It made you so mad you couldn't even type it.
Here's a link to the Oversigning wiki page. What is basically trying to be accomplished, in all seriousness, is to outlaw the ridiculous practice of oversigning with the intention to pull schollies or slight the system. All people want to see happen is for schools to honor their offers.
Legitimately.

How many of those athletic darlings actually take advantage of the opportunity and go on to graduate?
And, of those that do get their diploma, how many have degrees that have some value in the job market? Not much use for a degree in General Studies, Basket Weaving or African Cultural Studies.
Of course, there's always the ever present ego driven alumnus that own a company/business
who'll hire any ex-athlete as a status symbol. Most of em wont ever have to worry about employment after their playing days are over.
