Man that was difficult.
This seems to be based more on bias than reality.
Just like any random student, some student athletes(basketball included) take difficult classes and other student athletes take easy classes. Its why we have physics majors, engineering majors, and marketing majors(raises hand).
So are you biased with your answer or basing that on reality? Its reality.
Reality is that college basketball teams have more issues with academics than college baseball teams or the normal student population. So quit saying it is based on bias. Its not.
Holy hell, just say that at the start.
You speak of reality, but you have 0 idea what the academic issues are for college basketball compared to the overall student population.
What % of basketball players fail out of college? What % of overall student population fails out of college? What is the GPA of basketball teams? What is the GPA of the overall student population? What % of basketball players graduate in 6 years? What % of overall student population graduates in 6 years?
Is graduating even a worthwhile metric or is a better metric to measure how long after leaving college before individuals are hired in the career they studied for and/or want to be in?
You dont know any of those questions. I dont know any of those questions. But you sure act like you know.
Your point that you are trying to call me out on is not what I was even responding to in that first post.
You asked about some GPAs(which neither you or I know) and I was responding to the claim that not many elite basketball recruits 'do much schooling' when they are enrolled.
Please understand that if a basketball team has a lower GPA than a baseball team, that doesnt mean the basketball team isnt 'doing much schooling'. The basketball team could have everyone passing all classes and be on track to graduate in 5 years, which are both better metrics than what I have read for general student populations. Meanwhile, the baseball team could also be passing all classes and just have a higher GPA.
I am unsure if you can connect the dots here, so I will be very specific- the baseball team has a higher GPA, so you think you have made your point, but the basketball team is still doing a lot of schooling, so I actually did make my point.
Once more- you are a clown.
