>>Really, my son just graduated this past Saturday, Cum Laude, with a BSEE while playing Division 1 Varsity Football and Track....<<

Why waste your time doing all that when you can become rich and famous as a RAPPER?

Give your kid some good career advice for goodness’ sake!

Low probability event.
Like attorneys, a rare few make big bucks, but most are peons.

At 5/11, 162lbs....This kid would actually get killed quicker on the football field than as a rapper. Dude is a stick

That’s what is called an outlier. How many top prospects finish school, let alone in EE?

On his team, the varsity football players ran the gamut on grades, very similar to the general student body....One of his teammates was awarded the title of University Scholar since he had a perfect 4.0 from his freshman year, he was also an Engineering student...

Yes,some players skimming the system....

But the bulk pull their load.... The outliers are those cheater students and not the good ones....

The scandals that make the news are usually limited to a couple of colleges and few select students.....

The vast bulk of coaches and kids are very dedicated...
