“Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL. We ain’t come to play SCHOOL. Classes are POINTLESS.”

of money these days and they still don't get it. It's got to be how they're raised with education no where on the list of priorities. Even if they make it to the big leagues, it will only last so long and the odds of them making it aren't very good. Good grief!

about you guys but I like the fact that almost one - half of Clemson athletes have a 3.0 or better. Not a lot of programs can make that boast.

recruits talking about getting their "50 million dollars," collegiate players buying expensive insurance policies and others going through the motions of determining whether or not to enter the draft. Then again, the majority continue their education to obtain their degrees. Oddly enough, these same type of discussions were happening when I was at CU in the 60's, although the money was considerably less.
