Not many college football players major in physics, mathematics or the classics.

Boo hoo, boo hoo!

I’m shocked that college football players may get extra benefits and are not taking advanced math and some are not Rhodes scholars.

UGA lets retards play sports, too.

For as much as all you UGA bitches love to beat your chest about academics, UGA had the shittiest graduation rate for football out of the 4 teams in the CFP. Alabama, Clemson, and OU rates were all much higher than UGA.



Nothing like trying to make a point and missing the entire point of the discussion...

If anything, the lower APR/Graduation rate would actually support the notion that UGA doesn't do as much to encourage athletes to sign up for "easy majors"...

I don't think anyone is trying to argue that athletes are brought in for their academic prowess... but it's fun to watch Aubies spin this as no big deal as well.

Not shocking. Typical Auburn. Their academic reputation has always been a joke.
Should I post the Harrick Jr final exam?

Athlete-friendly curriculum?


I think there should be majors that help athletes when they get to the next level.

Classes that help them manage money, learn about the body and how to know whats wrong or how to keep their bodies safe when working out and whatnot. Maybe even count some aspects of their sport (like film and weights) as credits.

There are so many bs majors that don't help people in the real world. this would actually help athletes be better prepared.

A lot of the athlete majors actually are somewhat coinciding with aspects of future. However, all students should take some sort of money management course
