Message: [QUOTE="Heytherego, post: 4006309, member: 10685"] I don’t know why you think gifted athletes do not deserve the scholarships they’ve worked so hard for. All d1 athletes (even the “non stellar ones”) have put in an insane amount of time, effort, money, sacrifice and so on just to be able to play at college. Also there are things called academic scholarships…that are reserved for “kids who have the academic promise” you speak of. D1 athlete or not, many 20 year olds graduate with “useless” degrees and go into something that has nothing to do with their degree. However I don’t see any bachelors degree as “useless” and think no matter what athletes should be proud of whatever degree they received. To have to play, train and dedicate most of your days to a sport while also balancing classes is impressive. I do not like the narrative that they don’t deserve it. [/QUOTE]
