Go home and get a job at Wendy's.

Ah, so student athletes can either play sports or work in fast food. Good to know. I’d call you an idiot, but you do so well yourself to make it abundantly obvious.

Of course, it's not literally true, but there's a lot of truth to it. For every player who is good enough to earn a check playing, there are 5 who falsely believe that to be true, and it's driving a lot of the insanity of players hopping from school to school and de-valuing the opportunity of a free education

Regrettably too few players study something that creates an employment skill like Engineering, chem, physics, accounting, teaching, etc.

and, at a lot of the bigger schools, if you keep your nose clean and seem half way normal, doors will open to you, that don't open to regular students. a lot of these kids don't think they need to consider that, because they're "going pro".
