Is there anything called personal responsibility anymore, did you actually play College sports? all people are saying is the Degree is something that you can benefit from forever if applied correctly with forethought. How about that concerning personal responsibility. Just because someone does not land a job specific to their degree does not mean they do not utilize the skills developed to obtain the degree. Of further significance many do use the specific for degree to work in the associated profession correlated with their specific degree.  I am one of them.  I can tell you of many many past Syracuse athletes who were tremendous students and the sacrifice that it took.  Massive benefit if you want to take advantage of the gauntlet that it is, brutal time commitments, however development of character, mad work ethic, ability to be a team player, lifelong connections..... I am not against getting paid if you can, however once again a very small percentage will,  otherwise it is all going to collapse.  I have not even begun to talk about women sports, small Division I programs, D2, D3 programs.  Sports and the ancillary benefits have elevated so many people out of crippling situations.  There are has to be some balance but most certainly a recognition of amazing good.  If opportunities present themselves, great but do not forget the primary reason why the student athlete is here.  Otherwise choose to do something else and that is okay. Much respect
