[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16286628, member: 45161"] Collegiate tennis player here: NO. Absolutely not. The school gave me free equipment, a free education, and some minor expense money. In return I got a free education, free healthcare, free training, free food, and free tutoring. If an athlete chooses to waste that opportunity by getting a worthless degree it's on them. If you don't think so go ahead and stop complaining about gender studies libs with insurmountable student loan debt. There's a big misconception that athletes are all idiots that get worthless degrees without ever doing the actual work. Student athletes at my school had higher graduation rates and a higher GPAs than the general student body. We had to. If we under-performed collegiate rules benched us and we were constantly reminded that. Nobody gave us unearned grades or degrees. Our A.D. was on our asses when our grades slipped and as a result of team study sessions, tutoring, and the constant threat of getting the boot I did better in school when I played vs. when I wasn't. NCAA wide student athletes have higher graduation rates too. So no. Take advantage of the incredible opportunity the university gave you or shut the **** up. [/QUOTE]
