I mean c'mon guys.......I refuse to believe some of y'all are this naive. Outside of the super rare cases like Jack Ingram for example....this is literally how it's ALWAYS been for the entire history of college basketball. These guys have always been funneled into lower workload majors like RST or Communications and they have tutors that pretty much do 70% of their work FOR them even then.
Kendall, Nick Anderson, Frankie, BCook, Dee, Deron, Luther, BP3, Rayvonte,Malcolm, Meyers....these dudes most definitely spent more time at KAMS then they ever did in class. I know for a fact during my time there that UI athletics would literally have someone whose entire job was stopping in classrooms and checking if the athletes were in attendance. Half the time the guys would wait until they got marked as present and then bounce anyways.
The illusion of the "amateur-college-athlete" has ALWAYS been just that........an illusion (for the vast ,vast majority of the players).
Side note, I've always been of the opinion that if you can major in Theatre, Music, or Dance....you should be able to major in Basketball/Football or the D1 sport you're playing. You probably would have better job prospects right out of college with the latter as a high level D1 athlete
