specially when coupled with the fact that the vast majority of those black men spend 3-4 years working very hard to finance the gymnastics team only to find themselves with no future in the NFL, no degree and basically unemployable


I don't know about UGA, but LSU graduates almost all of their athletes and those guys all have a hand up in the hiring process because employers know what kind of work ethic it takes to play college football and companies love to have former LSU players as part of their team.

The data is pretty indicative that many CFB players do not do well when they are finished playing CFB. While many do receive a degree many were handed that degree to keep them eligible. Yes, there are many who do quite well for themselves but there are about as many who do not....I am sure there are stories of LSU players who were stars at LSU who wound up in prison or dead or in dead end careers just like there are at all schools. This is true of all universities. The fact that that person could've earned a substantial amount of money while playing CFB and financing the AD is not going to be discounted any longer....
