[QUOTE="Techster, post: 1009120, member: 360"] It would be hard for them to get into the MBA program as GT is strict on the experience portion of the application, but I know Darryl Richard got in while still here and also graduated before his eligibility ran out: [URL unfurl="true"]https://ramblinwreck.com/darryl-richard-earns-mba/[/URL] Richard was an exception though. Dude was a killer in the classroom and on the field. We've had several players also work on their Masters in Engineering while playing, and we currently have a player working on their PHD. I know the basketball players who have graduated tend to gravitate towards the Masters in Construction Management. There are ways to keep players playing if that's what they want. I'm of the school that GT attracts a certain type of SA that actually cares about their future off the field, and for those SAs the prospect of "playing school" isn't what they're here for, so if GT doesn't have their grad program or can't get in, they move on to opportunities at other schools. Double edge sword for GT because of the caliber of SAs we attract, but it's also a good thing because GT is doing their job of graduating SAs to get them in a position to do that even if it means we lose them to their career aspirations or other opportunities.
