The NCAA's argument ignores the fact that some degrees are worth far more than others. Athletes are routinely clustered into majors that don't set them up to succeed later in life, mainly because those majors are easy enough for athletes to focus on their sport.

They also have access to tutors and preferential class scheduling. Fact of the matter is, most of these athletes that struggle to handle academics while also participating in a sport, probably wouldn't have gone to college in the first place if not for their athletic ability.
