Instead of an "Asian Studies" degree, they get a "Life During and After Your Athletic Career" degree.  I can think of a whole lot of classes that could be offered and be valuable to a student athlete.I am being serious.  I know people who made it into college and spent most of their time drinking and socializing.  Sure, they were smart enough to do some coasting, get C's and a degree, but what good were they to the University, besides paying tuition and filling space?It is almost like they treat athletes as if they are the "drunk uncle" at the party.  We all know why they are there, but nobody acknowledges the rigors that they go through, academically to get and stay there.  Meanwhile, they are excelling at a sport they have devoted most of their time trying to be great at.  Spending money tutoring an athlete on "Ancient Rome History", when they could be taking a class on "The In's and Outs of NIL money" isn't doing them any service at all, its just pretending that they are there for some kind of degree.</blockquote>
