Florida vs. Oklahoma - BCS Championship

I love my school (Akron), but I didn't exactly have an easy major (chemical engineering) and it pisses me off to see some people with these majors because they get to go to school for free but mostly don't even care about their education. It's free, and you don't maximize your education? Boggles my mind man.

 

they are going to make millions to play a game.....why would they?!

 

I got two chemical engineering degrees just because I can

 

Has this Iglesias fella declaired?

 

Because despite the money they receive, there's a life after football lol.

 

i dunno gramps....that FELLA can play though.....

 

He's a Senior.

 

because making even 5 million dollars in a season....is more then most normal peeps will make in almost their lifetime.....who cares about after football? they retire at 35 haha

 

these youngsters with their football and horseless carriages....

 

Florida

 

soo..... yes?

 

Some don't want to sit around lol. They don't all think like me and you bro.

 

Si.

 

if they are smart with their money. problem is alot aren't smart with their money.

 

whys it gotta be si? because im here? wtf alen?

 

and they arent ALL taking silly majors either....its just as ridiculous to pigeon-hole every college football player into a "P.E. major" i hate that "jock" stero-type

 

How do you figure that?

120 schools in D1-A, 100 players per team. 12,000 players in D-1A.

32 teams in NFL, 65 players (if that) counting practice squad. 2,080 players with a typical career of 2.3 seasons.

Oh yea, they are going to make millions.

 

Master's or doctorate?

You're better than me either way. I hope I never want to get either.

 

thats ridiculous to think EVERY SINGLE player in D1-a has a cheesy major pete.....there are tons of guys majoring in pysch, science, political science etc etc

 

just kidding man im a cs major. I got a master in info tech.

 

If college athletics were really about college, the programs would worry more about giving these kids even remedial education rather than making sure they know the tendencies of every Mike backer in their conference the last 4 years. They don't offer football degrees at the end of that studying.

Many of these kids are just used and tossed aside. It doesn't start with the colleges, but it certainly doesn't stop there either.

 

enjoyable half of football.....i think the 2nd half will be even better!!! Go Florida!!!

 

wow really? whats wrong with majoring in psych? (that was my major) till i got injured and had to leave college.....

its better than "basket weaving, PE, and recreational sports"

 

Who is saying they ALL do?

Some guys end up not having the talent to play in the NFL. Some have career ending injuries before they ever even start their careers. There are plenty of reasons that a collegiate athlete should consider a practical major. Of course, I happen to be one of those people that just thinks it's a tad bit absurd to have "collegiate athletes" who, for all intents and purposes, do not actually go to college.

Then again, I love college football (and basketball) and don't really have a better alternative. Still, it makes for a good laugh whenever I see one of the more creative majors.

 

I know and its sad.................. as much as we enjoy watching it, I bet plenty of lives are destroyed for it and in the wake of it.

 

Nothing is wrong with either, it was just a joke since I majored in one of the hard sciences.

 

imho kids need to be paid in college......the big schools anyways.....its complete BULL**** to see a #15 florida gators jersey....with no name on it (you know whose jersey it is) and florida gets all the merch % for it....tebow gets none of it.....how about the kids earning this bcs berth...? they are making the school MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.....

yeah they get free school....but when we are comparing 70k in student loans.....or millions of dollars for ONE GAME....these kids get used to all hell

 

I prefer to think that their lives were enriched as much as they could be.

 

lol bastard.....

 

70K is a low number IMO for 4 years of room and board (plus transportation to and from games, equipment, personal tutors, healthcare, monthly stipend/spending money, etc.)

70K * 100 players = 7 million.

I'd say it evens out, but just my opinion.


Edit: Football and basketball also play for all those other athletics that run nowhere near being profitable. because without those sports taking in that money, almost no other sports teams are going to exist.

 

alot of math?

 

Yes would be an understatement.

 

there is not 100 players on full ride scholarships........

 

linear algebra?
