Link eligibility to academics

i mean, it's already 24/48/72/96/120

Do you have the numbers on how many athletes graduate and a break down of each sport’s contribution.

---

No.

They aren’t there to play school.

quote:

Yes, you did come to play school.

when was the last time you recall a player having academic eligibility issues? Been a long time right? You used to read stories all the time of someone not making grades or needing to do work in the spring/summer sessions to be eligible in the fall. I can't tell you the last time I recall a player on any team I follow having academic issues. Not sure what to make of it, but it's definitely noticeable, and I don't think college athletes just all the sudden became better students once they started making a lot of NIL money,

Undergraduate transfers: Choose wisely. Residency requirements would be in play.*

In my experience transfer credits are up to the receiving institution - for normal students they will usually grant as few transfer credits as possible. For student Athletes they may grant as many as needed and do away with any residency requirements. They can also do this for a student with other characteristics that they find attractive like some sort of academic work or research work etcetera.

I started out at a JUCO. I lost one class in the transfer process.

However, recently I had my transcripts evaluated for a program at a school at with I have not previously attended. Due to residency requirements, I would have to take five classes beyond what I actually need to get the degree. That just wasn’t worth it.

And I bet if some school were to add a rider saying a player had to be academically eligible to still make that NIL money it'd end up in court and probably rule in favor of the player.

That would’ve made Stetson ineligible correct? Six years no degree you would’ve missed out on those natties.

...or maybe he would have taken school seriously.

Several reasons...

First of all, the academic support stuff is ridiculous. People walk you to class. Note takers take notes for you in class. Tutors. Study Halls. Special testing conditions if requested.

And most of all bs majors that are not challenging.

At OU all the players are in Human Relations or Multidisciplinary Studies. Multidisciplinary Studies allows athletes to design a program of stuff that are the easiest classes on campus. Ironically, the other type of Multidisciplinary students are the brightest kids on campus who choose to sample the most rigorous stuff on campus in order to get into Med school.

At Texas, about 50% of Men's football and basketball players major in "Physical Culture and Sports" which is a hollowed out PE program combined with some social studies. Most of the rest of them are in some kind of Communications program.

All schools do something like this. Even Stanford has a program for their ball players. While many Stanford players are in legit majors. Their football/basketball major is called Science, Tech and Society.
