When I worked at my old site, there was an eighth grader who should have been in 9th grade, but constant suspensions and straight F report cards did their toll.
When the principal talked to his parents, they said the following:
"We don't care about his education because his football career will take him all the way..."
Never mind that only 1% of high school students recieve some kind of scholarship, never mind that maybe only 10% of college athletes make it to the pro level...I'd like to see him make it, tear his ACL his first season, and basically piss whatever first year salary he makes because I know that he won't be smart enough to hire people to take care of his money wisely for him.
Oh, and he's a lineman, some of the smartest men in professional sports.....good luck Troy!
