Your arguement makes sense as a reason to not let kids into graduate school
that have no intention of finishing.

I don't think "student" athletes should be held to the same academic standards

I think the idea that college athletes are making millions for their university

Your statement that football and men's basketball are revenue positive only

Yes. Further reinforcing the point.

They are coming to see quality players represent their school

Sure, but high-revenue football programs sell out their stadium every year

They are not held to the same standard at most places, even at BYU.

They're certainly not held to the same admission standards.

So pretty much the way it is already? Got it.

If they're going to be students, they must abide by the school's standards.

But a degree is supposed to represent a level of intellectual mastery

I think we are too late to go back to that. The different standards are already

How many of the top athletes in football or basketball are there for the degree?
Huge Manatee
4/19/19 2:30pm
That's irrelevant to me. I don't want to give them the degree

Even at BYU the scademic standards are not the same already.

They aren't. I know a student athlete on the track team with low ACT who got in.

They’re not at every school in the country including Harvard

Then student athletes, by that logic, shouldn't be entitled to the same degree

Would you say the same for Permian, Texas high school football players?
