I think it is time to scrap the term "Student Athlete". That term has always annoyed me. I think the Portal and NIL have proven that these guys (most of them) go to college to play ball. Going to class is just something that they are required to do to stay eligible while working on their game or looking where to transfer to. If degrees in General Studies, Sociology, Criminal Justice and Kinesiology, were eliminated, it would be very interesting to see how many would actually remain eligible and earn a degree!

General Business. Business management,Education, political science, and any number of liberal arts degrees.

I finished in Civil Engr in the 60s. I’m really glad it was then. Students today are facing a load from an elite faculty. I know that because I’ve taught with them. They take courses in other colleges. None are easy As. Not the same school you and I attended, Jerry.
We can discuss the usefulness of the degrees but most of our student athletes struggle with courses in certain degree areas not because of difficulty but because of time constraints on labs and project design. Time devoted to being an elite athlete and an engineering, nursing, architectural student, etc are really difficult. A few can handle it but there are a lot of non-athletes who struggle with the time management part of it.

The typical student doesn’t have the tutoring, time management assistant, preferred scheduling, preferred instructors that the athletes get. It’s still a tremendous burden to do anything after these practice sessions. I’m tipping my hat to them all.

Nothing wrong with a Business Degree.

Not a thing wrong with a general business degree, or many other business degrees but they aren’t very difficult.

You forgot Mass Communications...

You forgot Mass Communications...

Clearly we don’t do a good job with this major. Nobody in Lafayette knew when we played a home game, nobody in the stadium knew we were SBC champions in 2021, and nobody in Lafayette knows we’re playing a bowl game in Shreveport.

So people that are optimistic and supportive of the coaching staff are sunshine pumpers? The facts are that the four highest rated recruits in Ragin' Cajun history, per 247, were signed or committed to this coaching staff: Dubose, Edwards, Horne and Anderson. I understand your argument that the ratings depth may not be apparent, but the top end talent is better than has ever been committed.

Dubose and Edwards was last year.. We went from having the top recruiting classes in the SunBelt, to the bottom 3. This isn't brain surgery. It's taken a dive. If you can't see that, I guess you can call it what you want. Sunshine pumping. Head in the sand. Myopic. I don't know.

Yes, they were last year and they signed when Des was the coach, after Naiper left.

When will Dubose and Edwards hit the field.
