I think the Big 10 athletes are afraid they may have to go to class this year. 😬

Yup!

You mean college is about.....going to classes and studying?! And those "testy" things - we ACTUALLY have to take and pass them?

Come on! I am an athlete!!!

“You mean college is about.....going to classes and studying?! “

A friend that was All-State in basketball, his first stop on campus is to meet with the coach... His class schedule is all worked out?

The coach says,’coach Joey, here will work it all out for you... he has a list of instructors that are’FRIENDS OF THE TEAM’!

That said, well into his fourth year he was not 100% sure he would graduate on time. Not every instructor was a ‘Friend of the Team’.

The Professor of his worst class announced that his friend Prof. Soandso had been in a terrible auto accident and needed blood donations, please see him for details after class.

A gentleman’s C and graduated on schedule.

Drafted about number 999? But said school teaching was a steady check.

yeah, because if they can’t hide out in football, they would have no excuse when they don’t show up for class and fail....
