Purdue’s top receiver ineligible

They can tell employers the same thing if they have a degree in athletics or sport. The employers they are trying to get a job from are in sports. Their scholarships are athletic scholarships. Lawyers go to law school. Doctors go to medical school. Architects go to architectural school. Athletes with athletic scholarships go to Schools of athletics. the coursework would be anything they'll need to show to get jobs or need to know to conduct their career in that field or to get other jobs in that field, such as coach, trainer, broadcaster, agent, etc. Training their bodies and learning their sport is part of that. Sports is not an extracurricular activity for those seeking employment in that field.

But in the end, it is no different than what they can get from a school now...except that they get credit for playing a sport which means they will be in the classroom less. But employers already know now whether a candidate played a sport or not and can value it now (or not). So basically the scenarios are:

Today: Football player can take whatever courses he wants and get a degree. In addition, football player can put on his resume that he played college football.

Tomorrow: Football player can take whatever courses he wants and get a degree. In addition, football player can put on his resume that he played college football. They will get academic credit for playing football.

Back to the subject of the thread.

Purdue recently lost a starting safety to the transfer portal. He is transferring to Kansas. Something must be really bad in West Lafayette if a Purdue starter thinks he would be better off on Kansas.

Or maybe Kansas is just getting shady.

And he doesn't have to waste his time taking "stay eligible" courses. He'd be taking courses that will help him in his professional career. And someone who legitimately wants a degree in something meaningful could still pursue that and play sports.

Here is a Nebraska early preview of Purdue.

It believe it was written before it was known they were losing a starting safety.

Suspect OL. Little ability to run the ball. Terrific QB. Pretty good defense.

They sound a lot like Virginia except with a better defense.

Back to the topic like you said. Since this player was disqualified for academics, was never in the portal before that deadline, would he be eligible to play this upcoming year for anyone? Would he still be able to add a year for Covid? Be eligible to play at another D1 team who’d accept him, without sitting a year? Would playing for a junior college, playing immediately count as a transfer mandating that he sits out if he transferred back into to a D1 school? Just some crazy questions thinking about this kid’s situation.
