Tom Ross World Class Instructor and Columnist for Billiard’s Digest​

Learning is a process, uniquely personal for every student and nobody in the field is more acutely aware of the individual than Tom Ross. Since 1978 Tom has personally taught over 4,500 students from every walk of life and every level of play, from beginners to National Champions. And each month he reaches thousands through his writing. Best known for delving into the mental game every month with his In Focus column in Billiards Digest, Tom also writes a monthly technical piece for Cue Times Billiard News, which had appeared nonstop from 1998. In addition, he is published monthly in Professor Q-Ball

"General engineering" was perhaps the worst ever name for a degree from a marketing standpoint.

No kidding. I looked at it. Looked at the general course list, and couldn't understand why anyone would get that degree. It looked so much less rigorous that anything else in engineering. Just a series of intro to topics that sounded more appropriate for a business degree. Many years later, my guess is it was a path to be a technical project coordinator or engineering manager. I'm still not sure.

I strongly disagree with all of this, but that's a topic for a different thread.

I thought everyone that went GE moved to a more specific engineering after soph year. Guess that wasn't the case. Always thought of it as general studies when kids didn't know what branch they wanted yet.

Not sure where to put this. Explains the situation with Skyy Clark stepping away from basketball in January.

How time away from hoops prepared guard Skyy Clark for key role with Louisville basketball

Transfer portal addition Skyy Clark looks to be a leader for Louisville basketball in 2023-24. Here's how time away from the game prepared the guard.

It is hard to know how to read this. On a basic level, Skyy said caring for his father was more important than playing basketball. Admirable.

But. Minutes after the Illini are eliminated, Skyy declares for Louisville, which says Dad got better and no longer needs care from his son. So why does say he needs to change schools? These pieces do not all fit together for me.
