Some may take your post as sarcasm but I can easily see that happening. A player charged with rape was allowed by a judge to play because not playing would negatively impact his NIL earning potential and NBA prospects. So what if a kid failed every class he took…or had to take classes? He needs to play and make money.

If they are employees they aren’t held to academic standards anymore.

Making student-athletes employees allowed to collectively bargain may be problematic but that's a wait and see. MU82 makes a valid point so your extreme example is unlikely to occur. The bolded part is flat out inaccurate. The player was being held to a different standard than all other students at the university and the university was unable to provide a justification for doing so. The judicial opinion actually made sense. (Of course it appears that the university slow walked the ensuing internal investigation but that's a different issue.)

True. They have to preform on the field or court. Just like every other pro athlete.

The players, coaches, media and politicians want these athletes treated like the professionals they are, so people need to stop treating them like students and respect their wishes. Who cares if they understand economics or biology. Nobody expects Bucks players to quote Shakespere.

The schools and NCAA have been b1tch slapped for trying to deny these people thier place as pro athletes. I think we all need be respectful.

Man is this stupid.

I think anyone who says Luka is “easily the best player in the world and anyone who says otherwise is simply outhinged” is outhinged.

Lets at least get the word correct, for sanity sake.

Every work place holds employees to some kind of standards.

The struggle with mental health is real.  I wasn’t a fan but his post-Sony speech (just saw it yesterday) was revealing.  Guy had fought a lot of demons, between depression and alcohol.  The combination is awful.  It’s a daily battle and not something that ever just disappears.

When you see a family member or friend struggling from these very real issues of depression, be understanding and kind and check up on them.

It's like the poster who claims every burger place in Milwaukee sucks.  Is there anything as good as Au Cheval?  No.  But to pretend Oscar's (especially when taking service, wait time, and price into account, but even without that) is trash or even Sobleman's or Elsa's or Night Owl aren't good burgers is just someone looking for attention and trying to act like they have some superior palate to everyone else.

Reminds me of the guy who goes to Italy once and comes back and claims nothing in America is really pizza or pasta.

I didn't say those places were trash I said Milwaukee doesn't have a spot on par with Au Cheval, Loyalist, Little Bad wolf, etc.  I enjoy a soblemans burger but it's a massive notch below. Have t tried the other two and was wasted and 20yrs old last time I tried Oscar's, I remember it being good but not "I didn't know a burger could be this good" like when I tried Loyalist and Ai Cheval for the first time.
