These are not student-athletes, they are athletes that happen to be playing at an university. They have never been taught the value of an education.
I remember Anthony Toney who was a star at USL and then played in the NBA. After a game that he did very well, he was asked what his most fond memory of his college career was, he replied, graduating in three years. He appears to be the rare exception.

I guess this is why LSU athletes have around an 80 % graduation rate ? Have you ever talked to any college athlete ? Sure some use it as a stepping stone , but a far greater number of college athletes attend with the intent to graduate .
