athletes play like adults, read like 5th-graders, Boogieman wrote: “Reading on a fifth to eighth grade level is an adult level of reading. It’s enough to read a newspaper. It’s enough to read furniture assembly instructions. It’s more than enough to become a gym teacher or coach your respective sport. Heck, it’s enough to teach fifth grade.”

Nowadays gym teachers need a B.A./B.S., and, in many states, a teacher's credential as well, just to be a "gym teacher." Personal experience.
This is for public schools as private schools can do what they want.

To coach at the college level an M.A./M.S is SUPPOSED to be an eventuality. The coaching jobs are just too visible and desirable to be anything less.
Things didn't USED to be that way.

The desirability of the public schools comes into play when PENSIONS do. No one cares before that time. In theory, the public schools will always have state funds, as private schools won't.

Which these athletes who read on a fifth to eighth grade level should be able to get. So long as they show up when they're supposed to and they finish out all four years.

I didn’t write that. I was replying to someone else and quoted them.
