[QUOTE="hooraybeer, post: 1316147, member: 17413"] could see something like this eventually catching on. i think the draw of most college campuses, where these athletes are treated like superstars, is more of a factor than people realize. likewise, the effort needed to "maintain grades" for most P5 conference football and basketball players is overstated. programs can and do guide players to majors depending on their academic abilities, interests and goals. if a player wants to get a great education, they certainly have that option but will need to put in the effort necessary to get there. if a player has a good chance of making it to the league and doesn't really care about the educational aspect of college, they have options as well that require much less effort.
