I know a lot of people who would disagree with you on this.

None of these guys care about credits... this isn't like when we all went to school. That's the last thing they care about.

When was the last time you saw somebody that was academically ineligible? That should answer your question.

It’s all fun and games right now.

Give it 20 years and watch how many broke dead end college athletes without anything to fall on there are in the country.

They’ve turned it into a semi-pro league. There’s no retirement or pension. Just a few hundred thousand right now. They’ve made playing the sport a priority, but there’s nothing more coming. It’s a dead end for 99%.


I for one don’t care. I was never for paying them. They’ll get what they asked for. They have taken the passion and loyalty out of the game I loved for greed. Sure pay them a few bucks to get by, but make graduating a priority. Try teaching them about life without football. Seems like the people in charge don’t care about anything but the money and it’s letting these kids down for their future.

Dude they ain’t here to play school.
It’s NFL lite now my friend. School & a degree don’t mean shite to these kids.

To create communists? Or to put you in debt for the rest of your life due to the cost of an "education" 90% cant make a career out of?

The words ‘class’ and ‘school’ aren’t in these conversations.

It's been this way for 40 years lol.

Now, instead of graduating (or not graduating) with a sports administration degree and not making it to the next level and getting forced into some dead end job to make ends meet, they leave school the same way with a few hundred thousand to a million dollars.

I have friends who finished playing in 2017-2019. Those who didn't make it professionally entered the work force. Don't you think they would have been in better shape at 22 if they entered the work force with a house and $100k set aside in an investment account? I know they sure do.

It's not like the football team frequented the engineering college up until 2021 and abruptly stopped. 99% of these guys major in one of the easy humanities/HSE majors and just try and get by. It's been that way for forever.

When is the last time you heard of a athlete being ineligible?

What in the world, are we doing about the transfer of school credits so that they graduate?



Who cares? It isn't the schools responsibility that these people graduate. They are given every benefit under the sun. Healthcare, food, housing top notch training, access to any education they desire ( if they do ) hand feed information my tutors all stuff that regular students do not get. If they don't graduate it is on them.
