Oh, do the numbers. The percentage of NCAA athletes, even if you confine it to football, even if you confine it to Div I football, who make it to the draft is less than the number of “exceptional” non-athlete students who (A) had full-ride scholarships to begin with and (B) get great offers straight out of college.

Too many students are lured to accept massive loan debt to get a college degree w a major that will not translate into a better-than-average salary. Not everyone needs a college degree, and not everyone should be pushed to get one. I personally served in the U.S. Army to get my $ for college, and it was the best think I ever did. I wonder if Bernie Sanders could be goaded into suggesting that professional athletes should switch salaries with school teachers for 1 year – then we would have our priorities straight.
