Clearly, our young student-athlete won't be majoring in English or communications.
Personally, I long for the days of the 1940's and 1950's, when college kids that played sports for their respective colleges and universities were actually college kids - kids that should be in college. But, commercialism has changed college athletics - at least football and basketball - into the farm system of their professional sports.
Pryor's not the exception, but the rule. I have no idea what he scored on his SAT, but I've heard him speak and I have significant doubt it was anything near the OSU student body average. There are plenty of smart kids who are athletic and if one watched the Navy/OSU game yesterday, you saw proof of that very theory. I would wager that there isn't a single skill-player on OSU's roster, certainly not in the starting line-up, that would be academically eligible for the Naval Academy. Conversly, I'd wager that there aren't many, if any Naval academy players that were recruited by OSU. And yet, people would have us believe that OSU fields student-athletes in the football program - ridiculous.
end of rant.
If the NFL doesn’t work out, Terrelle will have a degree, such as it is, and can be a diversity czar or Ebonics ESL professor.
On Target, Fire for Effect. As a rabid college football fan of another OSU (Oklahoma State - Go Cowboys!), allow me to second your rant. It is really sad and painful to hear these athletically-talented young men embarassed by their inarticulate media interactions. It exposes exactly that these individuals are there only because of their physical talents, not because they have any interest in the development of their mind.
The Middies had Ohio State on the ropes and it is very possible that USC will come in to finish them off.
Good luck ODH.
