Quote from denner:
There are prestigious universities that will literally create an entire department just to get the football players thru school. You can google the University of Michigan's General Studies program to get a glimpse into the sort of braindead classes the jocks were put thru to satisfy academic requirements.
It's funny, but once in awhile you hear mention of a solid collegiate player that actually pursued a degree in a legit major. They are so uncommon that it makes it noteworthy. I remember a DB from Florida State that was pre-med and may have even been a Rhodes Scholar and then the QB from Alabama this past year who was at the top of his class and scored maybe 38 on the Wunderlich.
