Getting your education paid for isn't exactly playing for free, but those who don't care about an education may not see it that way.

The Schooling most of NFL stars get is pure crap. I did say almost.

You don't know shit. Yes, some bs their way through school. Most actually take classes, get grades, etc. Graduation rates have risen steadily since we were college age kids.

Explain to me.

They pick their degree. I went to college with a lot of college athletes in my class. They got the same education as me, and at U of Iowa it was pretty darn good.

Kirk had those boys in class every day, sitting int the front row. It all depends on how much the coach cares about academics.

Which is why when Iowa fans whine about how much Kirk gets paid and he isn't winning a title I have to bite my lip. College coaching is about so much more then wins and loses.

What you do and how serious you take an education is up to you. Not a school. Every University has good programs and professors.

You choose to play football. No college makes you play football.

Sometimes the collage you choose doesn't care sufficiently about your welfare - See U. Maryland last spring.

You do know what the “A&M” means, right?

And just because you think a degree sounds funny or easy doesn’t mean it actually is. A good number of these courses can be quite challenging:

A&M is one of the most prestigious AG schools in the US, if not THE premiere school. If he's calling bullshit on the fact that graduation rates have risen, or mocking a very difficult education from A&M, he's not worth the time.

Why I continue to respond to his stupidity I don't know. It's like visiting the political forum.

This subject always reminds me that Dick Butkus actually majored in movie appreciation at Illinois.
