re: Do You Want "Student Athletes" Who Graduate or Champions?

No major D1 coach truly care about graduation rates...they care about players maintaining eligibility and wins.

You know who does- Moms. How many times have we seen Moms have a HUGE impact on where their son goes to school and why? Education is a factor (usually not the main one) for many of them, and we all know what has not been a strength here lately.

To those who are too stupid to understand, this is just a fricking sales pitch for parents. It’s about letting them know that LSU will make sure anyone who doesn’t turn out to be an NFL Draft prospect and wants to stay and get their degree will be able to. They will leave LSU in position for a good career with lots of opportunities in LA based on the fact that they’re a former LSU player. We all know how that plays.

I can guarantee you that they also push that they will help players who leave early for the draft get their degrees if they want after they leave. A LOT of guys do this and go on to careers after they finish with football. Not everyone stays in the league for a decade and makes a mint.

It amazes me that so many of you can’t see this. It’s pretty transparent messaging.
