[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 546047, member: 2426"] I still don't understand what of your post conflicts with any of my post. If a player was pushed into the AFAM department and received a degree based on that department, is the education of value to that player? UNC degrees are valuable. GT degrees are valuable. However, if the degree helps you get a job, your job performance is what helps you keep the job. I was specifically responding to GT_05 in saying that the education received by football players is only a benefit to the players if they value an education and the education they receive is a valid one. I have said before that I would wonder about UNC degrees because the university has proven that it doesn't have good control of its educational programs. It has been several years now, and I expect that the school has better reporting and controls to keep such a circumstance from happening again. However, that IS NOT what I am saying now. I am saying that student-athletes who were steered to and "benefited" from the bogus classes did not receive a "benefit" from that education. If such an athlete received a degree, but can't read past a sixth grade level, it won't help his career. [/QUOTE]
