If that were the case, would they pay the teachers more?

Well, the boys would be right if they were star athletes in football at certain SEC and Big 12 schools or Hinds’ Enormous State University as well as basketball at selected schools that often vie for high NCAA March Madness seedings but the lads would still have to make an appearance to get their “gentleman’s C’s” while they work toward that elusive “general studies” degree.

Actually Jack, standard education can be very helpful when it comes to athletics. You read all about different types of sports idols, you can write about your passion for athletic persuasion, and you can study sports statistics and data in math class. Plus, being a star player on your school team can get you into college pretty easily.

Go to Great Britain and see if you can qualify for one of the club academies.

Wait till he gets to College. He’ll find out it’s for “drinking”, not studying or sports.

Jack, sounds like you are headed for a university that’s a drunken jockocracy.

I don’t know if I want to laugh or cry.
