Message: [QUOTE="RandomGuy, post: 3130829, member: 6422"] 5 years for a degree may benefit the players, but then the ncaa looks like they're treating them like athletes first, which doesn't fit their narrative. Same with having to have a course for their degree, in season. If time constraints make it wiser for out of season? I'm ok with that, but they'll look like athletes first. Regardless, there will be courses only offered in the fall that will conflict with athletics. Attending that may not be allowed, but even if it is? If that's the difference between playing or not, missing out on a season, or letting down their teamates? The athlete may voluntarily skip it. There are no fix all answers when trying to mesh the modern demands of college athletics with college academics - for some. Although, recognizing that athletes are not just traditional students(the narrative), is a good start. [/QUOTE]
