Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4006345, member: 7511"] I was a student athlete. I never had a tutor or attended a mandatory study hall. While I would try to schedule classes around practice, I had several teammates who arrived late to practice because of a conflict with classes required for their major. I must say that I am perplexed by your stereotypical view of student athletes, particularly since this forum is focused on the remarkable student athletes who play for UConn WBB. When you paint all student athletes with such a broad brush, you do a disservice to most intelligent, hard working student athletes whose paramount goal is to get a good education. Just who are you referring to with your criticisms of student athletes requiring academic nannies? What prompted the cynical view that schools only goal is to keep athletes eligible? Are you talking about all college athletes? A particular sport? A particular school? UConn? Are you referring to a specific demographic group? [/QUOTE]
