<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 8097158, member: 76863&quot;]Those numbers are inaccurate.&nbsp; First the statement was that they get their bedgrees BEFORE going pro.&nbsp; Honorary degrees for the NFL and NBA mean nothing when you get it later on.&nbsp; Those two are also the sports where tutors do the work.&nbsp; Are there guys there with legitimate degrees sure, are they anywhere close to the reported number absolutely not.&nbsp; Anyone that played D1 sports knows exactly what is going on, they arent there for college they&#039;re there to go pro and the guys that will be pros are only doing their own work if they want too.&nbsp; You could really even break it down further with the absurdity of the majors that those &quot;degrees&quot; are in.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as baseball goes, its by far and away the most international worldwide US sport (second overall to soccer) with players from over 50 different countries so of course they aren&#039;t going to have degrees.&nbsp; The statement was for US born players only</p><p><br /></p><p>The point was which you were way off base in is that no pros aren&#039;t getting degrees before going pro and certainly arent getting meaningful ones.&nbsp; The guys getting degrees first are fringe players[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
