That is fantastic. This isn't just buying in to the concept of student / athlete, this is taking advantage of it. Now, he'll have the value of a college degree and the start towards a Masters. Very cool.

An interesting incentive for real college athletes. I like this option for them and gives them more control of their lives if they have the desire and work ethic.

That is fantastic news congrats Rak!

A student earning their degree early should give teams a boost in the APR but I bet it doesn't...

Now he can get a one-year masters next year. Bravo.

Good thing Hop didn't leave, or you might have seen that happen.
