Im talking about a group within a group. If youre applying for a job that requires a degree, people without a degree dont even matter. They arent applying for said job. You are competing with people with a degree so your sociology degree from LSU isnt setting you apart from anyone in that group.

Exactly, they cannot apply for certain jobs without a college degree, so not having one significantly limits their careers.

These LSU athletes arent there getting engineering, mathematics, and computer science degrees. They are getting degrees which qualify them for jobs that just require a degree.

...and here you go again with your blanket statements. Yes, many LSU athletes do get non "bullshite" degrees.

But you just said it, thats just LSU and LSU's football program is a select minority, you cannot say because of what goes on with LSU's football program is also the same at a majority of other college football programs because its certainly not.

In the real world being a scholarship football player that played at LSU, getting a degree in anything means you can compete within the "workforce" in a lot more fields than you are saying.

more players, less money per player.

I imagine the players union is against this.




To hell with the players union. If they don't like it they can take their game to another league.
