[QUOTE="PowderSpringsJacket88, post: 19985, member: 40"] I agree with DCS on his main points. It is definitely harder at GT than at Factory schools which can make it easier to focus on sports. However, there are pro's and con's to this situation. Tough academics will promote self discipline which will translate onto the field. Think about this example from CPJ when asked about Kevin Cone. He said that after the season he did nothing but focus on training. He said Kevin was so busy with school that he told CPJ that he didn't have enough time to focus on football like he was now. I just searched for the interview but I am pretty sure it was audio. Some athletes at GT can get focused probably too much on academics when there is potential for their PRO career as well. It is a balancing act and for most 18-23 year olds it can be hard to do so. I think this stuff would get sorted out a little more if we added more basic majors which will give SA's more options to choose from that are not so difficult. Nothing wrong with sports management or Education majors. [/QUOTE]
