I can agree with this LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 08/04/2011 09:12:54 PM
I don't think anyone should be in college for a "career" (you know, unless you are a teacher or something. You know what I mean :P) but I do get where you're coming from.

I don't think that exact scenario would come up... LadyLorraine - 06/04/2011 07:33:03 PM 550 Views
Generally, I don't think they should get paid. Fox and Ravens - 06/04/2011 07:29:29 PM 504 Views
If they're in college, fuck no. But should they be in college in the first place? Legolas - 06/04/2011 07:57:03 PM 663 Views
I believe it's because sports like basketball and football want to see your college career LadyLorraine - 06/04/2011 08:47:24 PM 676 Views
Why not have young players prove themselves in the pro leagues immediately? *NM* Legolas - 06/04/2011 09:40:24 PM 206 Views

Football players don't mature until their early 20s at the earliest Larry - 06/04/2011 10:52:50 PM 643 Views
I assume you mean why don't the NFL and NBA teams develop their own young players? snoopcester - 07/04/2011 11:32:49 AM 551 Views
I say keep the sports and get wrid of all the worthless arts and lit programs random thoughts - 07/04/2011 02:07:36 PM 568 Views
Except that "football" is not a major. LadyLorraine - 07/04/2011 07:35:37 PM 633 Views
I do believe they recieve college credit for playing random thoughts - 08/04/2011 02:14:31 PM 514 Views

RIt would be no harder to make football a degree program random thoughts - 09/04/2011 05:11:13 PM 496 Views
2/10; would not recommend this trolling. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 09:35:28 PM 501 Views
pointing out the unpopular is not trolling *NM* random thoughts - 10/04/2011 03:38:35 AM 205 Views
Posting purposefully incorrect statements to get a rise out of people is. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 08:48:02 AM 267 Views
what was the incorrect statement? *NM* random thoughts - 11/04/2011 07:18:52 PM 215 Views
Playing ignorant doesn't really suit you. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 11:48:15 PM 517 Views
that may be, but the fact of the matter is that it isn't. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 12:19:14 AM 243 Views
Do you speak from experience or is it simply a matter of faith? *NM* random thoughts - 10/04/2011 03:37:31 AM 229 Views

Havn't we been playing them under the table all this time? *NM* grogg0316 - 06/04/2011 08:52:09 PM 335 Views
I'm already pissed they get scholarships for being able to play football. They can join the NFL beetnemesis - 07/04/2011 12:50:15 AM 619 Views
Sports bring in such a huge amount of money to schools though. Darth_Katie - 07/04/2011 04:32:37 AM 509 Views
It does help schools raise money, AND it does help the players LadyLorraine - 07/04/2011 07:38:31 PM 578 Views
That's why there are need and merit-based scholarships beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 03:22:09 PM 522 Views
I get the rationale, it just annoys me. *NM* beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 03:20:05 PM 217 Views
No. Sports brings in huge amounts of money to popular schools. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 03:27:33 PM 209 Views
So no one should profit if everyone can't? Darth_Katie - 10/04/2011 06:25:44 PM 503 Views
Uh, no they can't just join the NFL. They have to have 2.5 years out of high school. *NM* everynametaken - 07/04/2011 04:49:07 AM 254 Views
Really? random thoughts - 07/04/2011 02:03:32 PM 537 Views

The graduation rate for athletes overall is higher than the general undergrad student body, it seems Larry - 09/04/2011 02:57:43 PM 632 Views
How is that statistic presented? LadyLorraine - 09/04/2011 03:13:54 PM 474 Views
schools are full of fluff classes and it isn't just because of sports random thoughts - 09/04/2011 05:21:57 PM 447 Views
I did not say it was. LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 12:20:54 AM 524 Views
so we should just rely on your unbiased judgment and ignore facts? *NM* random thoughts - 10/04/2011 03:39:40 AM 223 Views
Yes that is precisely what I am asking. YOU CAUGHT ME *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:25:52 PM 221 Views

You seem to be the one who needs to think football are less intelligent *NM* random thoughts - 13/04/2011 12:06:29 AM 195 Views
I said nothing about intelligence at any point LadyLorraine - 13/04/2011 03:58:18 AM 480 Views
That's because you risk your tenure if you fail the sports darlings. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 03:24:19 PM 468 Views
your facts counter your argument not support it random thoughts - 09/04/2011 05:18:02 PM 602 Views

Err... I don't care? My point was that colleges shouldn't give a damn about athletics beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 03:25:24 PM 583 Views
