[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1031592, member: 7261"] I will say the same thing that I said to Joe, this is a generalization and one that I don't agree with, especially when it comes to The University of Wisconsin. This goes for football, as well as all sports at Wisconsin. I can't speak for ALL schools, but I do know that quite a few Big10 Schools maintain similar standards. Also, keep in mind, the overwhelming majority of college athletes have no illusions about becoming professional athletes. I also kind of chuckle when Joe or others say "maybe they excel at some puff classes they are allowed to take." Another generalization that I don't agree with. I was a Business major and I had to take a lot of courses outside of my business degree to complete my requirements, ones that I had zero interest in. Some of them were probably "puff classes" to those majoring in them (psychology, calculus, chemistry, history, etc.), but they sure weren't "puff classes" for me. Again, I feel that for some athletes, "Sports" is their major and what they wish to pursue after college. So if they excel at that "major" and do average in all their other required studies, where is the problem? Maybe what Universities need to do is have majors for specific sports. Instead, in some cases they appear to be trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and forcing a "Football Major" into a Com Arts major. Saying "let's just talk about football and the NIL money" isn't a complete conversation either. NIL has invaded all sports. BTW, here is a big reason Gary Anderson walked away from Wisconsin.
