re: How serious do sec athletes take college classes?

I think we've all seen different types.

I've taken upper level college classes with a football player who took it very seriously and was very enjoyable to be around in a classroom setting. That guy is doing well today and has a good job. He was also a starter, not just some benchwarmer.

On the other hand, I've seen others (99% of the time) sleep through class and not give a crap. They typically sit together and goof off.
