They got 1300 SAT while the average is 1450-1500.
They probably major in someting easy bullshit major and performs below average.
They won't have a good carrer after college unless they become succssful in the sport.



WOW ! Speaking of below average. You tried to bash a kid for their college degree but ended up looking like an idiot.



just woke up, typed it up on my phone lying down on my bed, so there were some fat fingers and stuff.  That's all you can bring up?

It's just common sense.  The recruited athletes are likely to be below average academically.  Fact is fact. No need to get personal on the facts.

Recruiter is coming across as weird.


Like a random person took time to comment on that twice in a row - hahaha - OP is officially obsessed and recruiter is renting space…


Huh? I am not sure exactly what you are saying, but I was the one who said you were coming across as weird and that was the first time I had interacted with you. I'm not OP.

You seem to have a problem with clarity.


Thanks OP


I'm skeptical you are actually in recruiting. You seem too weird and the job requires social skills.

do you need a degree for that?


There is a degree for it but You don’t really need a degree for programming/computer science either but it helps.

But mostly they get the job from their teammates fathers.


You don't need degree for most of the things then other than doctors, laywers, registered engineer positions in that sense.

Yes. Most people don’t even work in the field of their actual degree.

Athletes GPA are higher than the gen pop on campus though.

To be that level of an athlete you’re very disciplined. You’re likely type A and extroverted too combined with great education these types of people tend to do extremely well from career standpoints.

Yea so compare engineering major athletes vs engineering major gen pop on campus.
(if the athletes can even afford to major in engineering)

People don't have common sense here?

DP. So....your "fat fingers" and your nap caused you to ignore the words underlined in red? Really? You thought that the red colors underlining words was just there to liven up your day? Nope. That pig won't fly. Even you should be able to see why the rest of us are calling BS on your post.
