We had a discussion on this before, but what exactly is the point of those annoying "Celebrating the 'Student' Athlete" adverts on NASN every 15mins, when they don't even practice what they preach? :notlistening

Only a small percentage of "student" athletes go pro, a majority actually graduate and get jobs in their chosen profession. It's like the NFL draft, a high number (compared to the NBA with it's one-and-done ruling) of those athletes actually stay the distance in college. Hell, some like Matt Leinart stay an extra year if they have eligibility.
