And I am OK with JF losing games IF he has his balance right. Yea, I want to win but I still want to do it 'righter' than most teams. I am not proposing PSU be Ivy League but if the B10 said we quit the NCAA and we will have our own rules and champ that might be OK.
If we lose a game because JF benched a guy for academic reasons so be it. And if a player hits the portal because he 'doesn't play school' I'm good with that also.
I have personally heard a Saban star talk about his college and pro career. Small sample but he is paying for not getting an education. I assure you the system got what it wanted. Is he better off than if he'd never played college ball? Maybe, but he is doing something anyone with a HS degree could do and I don't think he got a college degree. You might say he screwed up but he had liitle parental or other support and the system let him down IMO.
And now I should Bubba Gump with 'and that's all I got to say about that'.
@rip My apologies, I should have said "which don't translate in to much for most people who go into other things". Didn't mean to imply a psychology degree is easy or just worthless, but more using the generalization that many go into it without moving on into anything in that particular arena.
I could say the sam ething of my Political Science degree... it was interesting but not very useful to me in my career, other than getting me that piece of paper. Again, sorry if I offended.
If a kid can get into school, stay out of trouble and end up leaving without a degree, he at least had the opportunity to experience something different than what/how he grew up; and for some that may be a god send one way or the other. I don't know the stats but I'd venture to say there is a huge percentage of players that barely got through HS that ended up with a degree and probably ended up back at home and now live on the dreams of what was and what could have been; and a few will honestly say or think, I wished I would have left with a degree. Problem is, the degree was never the primary terminal goal for a lot of those players, it was the bigger dream and illusion of going pro.

No problem, Roam, all is good. Thanks for the apology anyway. I just wanted to say that in my case, my Psy degree served me well.
