[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#141414]I would love to see some sort of incentive implemented to persuade athletes to go to and stay in school as long as possible.  But, there are some pretty big obstacles.  As far as the "legitimacy" test or discrimination potential, I think it could present some serious problems.  What if the athlete simply isn't a candidate for secondary education?  Perhaps he/she has a learning disability such as dyslexia?  Or, due to family needs, a college education (even a free one) is not a realistic short-term option.  Also there is the issue of how the college degree is truly earned, and where from.  What kind of accreditation is necessary?  How about international or even 3rd world athletes earning a degree at an obscure or unknown school?  Again, I like the idea of incentivizing but it is incredibly complex and difficult, if not impossible, to have an umbrella "’X’ $s for ‘X’ level of education" policy.[/COLOR][/FONT]
