ok I get in the real world the NFL requires it. My question has to do with in general or in your ideal world, why should college athletes go to college before they play pro ball? (college baseball is the one exception) Would you be ok with college athletes who didn't get a degree and didn't have to go to classes?

what is the benefit of classes that probably aren't that difficult for a college athlete who will make his living playing a sport?

I'm with you 100%. I think if a player is good enough, he should be eligible to get drafted right out of HS if not sooner. Irrespective of the sport.

but what about someone who isn't good enough and needs some semi-pro or college experience? should they be required to take classes work towards a degree even though they won't get it?

my question still stands

for a college athlete who will likely go pro, what will easy classes do for him when he is going to make a living playing sports.

Note: I'm playing devils advocate slightly, I want to try and further this discussion to ask some important questions.
