    Whos fault is it that they decided that would rather play football than get an education that is presented to them in terms of a scholarship....I guess we should feel sorry for them when they are out the league and working AT Walmart at 25 yrs of age because they chose not to take advantage of their FREE EDUCATION....

    Some of the kids have better rides clothes and cars and jewelry than most of us.. No I do not feel for a college athlete have fun and enjoy the ride because after college is the real world. Everyone doesnt make it to the league!
    Coaches TELL players not to take challenging classes. If their grades slip, they still have a scholarship. If their on-field performance slips, they don't. The notion of the student-athlete is laughable.

      So again whos fault is that these students who happen to be athletes chose not to take advantage of the education they are receiving?

      Whats the point of going to college? I couldve sworn it was to get a free education....now if u dont wanna do that there are ways around it...tryouts for pro and development teams happen everyday!
