Arbuckle it is!
Already on Wiki! lol
That’s not on their English professors; the ability to read and write English is foundational, for sure, but it doesn’t have a whole lot to do with one’s ability to communicate in front of the camera. A bunch of otherwise intelligent adults turn to gibbering idiots when you stick a camera and microphone in their faces.
BTW, those English professors are probably the ones who would most like to flunk an athlete. A whole bunch of arts and humanities professors don’t have a freaking clue who’s buttering their bread. Hell, It’s not like most of them teach undergrads, anyway—that’s why they have TAs.
I don’t disagree with most of that. There are definitely student athletes who are in it for the education, just like there always have been, but there are for sure athletes who are in it for the money or the career advancement. I’d bet that there are more who transfer for non-cash considerations (don’t get along with a coach, don’t get enough playing time, looking for a system that better fits their talents, etc), but the transfer portal took loyalty and facing the consequences of your actions out being the barn and put a built through theit brains.
Dunno what that has to do with amateur vs. pro. ********* are going to be ********* regardless of whether or not the players are getting paid.
