Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 2072315, member: 741"] While you make sense, how many of the "jocks" who think that they have a shot at a pro career actually take course/major in something that will help them for a lifetime? If they think they will be pros, they will take what is easy/convenient to stay eligible. Maybe I'm being cynical, and I apologize if I am, but what degrees do Gillon and White have? DCII? How about Gbinije and Cooney? I pick these guys as they at 5th year guys who had to complete their degree to qualify for that 5th year. Could ask about Roberson or say Christmas. Now we do hear about the guy who has his degree in 3 years (BMK?) or like Nickelson form Bona who has a BS in Physics or Chemistry, but those guys are more the exception. I would really love to think that good b-ball players (guys who at least start if not star) put as much time in on school work as they do on the court but is it true? [/QUOTE]
