[QUOTE="Blinocac200sx, post: 2462719, member: 5"] Honestly, the football players aren't the only ones having trouble using their degrees to get jobs. Our country has put such an emphasis on getting a college degree, yet employers are looking for skilled labor, so there is a huge gap and glut. Too many people with higher ed degrees and not enough people who can do hands on jobs. On the upside, if these guys are getting more help in their educational experience because of the NCAA rules, sounds like the rules are doing what they were intended to do. It would be great to be altruistic and all, but when you get right down to it, higher ed is big business, and just like any other business, they need to turn a profit. [/QUOTE]
