if you didn't get drafted, you still got the degree and will get a decent job. You won't be a bum. You'll just make around 50k a year, have your own place and car, and enough money to raise a family. It's not like they're going to be stuck at Mcdonalds or Walmart.

Let’s be reality. How many of these athletes actually apply themselves in school to make a life in case they don’t get drafted.

from the stories I hear school is secondary to sport.

Alot actually. Not everyone has a chance to get drafted. Its actually a very small percentage of student athletes that go pro. Not every student athlete is afforded those privileges. Plus, between games, practice, lifting/training, film study, travel, etc. sports at the collegiate level is practically a full time job in itself. In between all that, many still find the time to go to class because that scholarship might be the only chance they have to go to college in the first place since their family may not be able to afford it. Some do take advantage of the opportunity.

Here's some recent examples:

This ex-NFL player is now a doctor working 24-hour ER shifts—here's what it's like on the front lines of COVID-19

Maryland Native, Former College Football Player E.J. Scott Opens Sports Agency

John David Washington outran his father’s long shadow with a football in hand

Colleges sports as a whole:

DI student-athletes graduate at record high rates

Don't believe in the stereotypes. Just because you didn't make it to the pros doesn't mean you're destined to be a bum.

Being there as a support system before you see the fruits of your labor.
sis

How is this support any different from what his family/teammates/coaches provide?

most of these chicks knew these dudes would be elite athletes as early as the 7th grade. They can literally see the finish line from the jump. All they have to do is play their part and secure the bag.

I’m not saying that the support can’t be genuine, but as it pertains to dating, I’d be paranoid as shyt as a elite athlete.

You’d be surprised. A lot do. But the media paints black athletes as dumb jocks who can’t
apply anything outside of school. These athletes get plugged for job opportunities also and it’s a resume boost.

People keep forgetting that there are a ton of ncaa athletes. We only hear about the 1st round talents who don’t pan out

Here is the thing. Playing sports is the ultimate networking gig. Many kats that don't make it to the pros (no matter the race) get assistant gigs and eventually become coordinators and head coaches. A lot of schools will let them work as interns if they didn't finish their degree and then let them go back to school for free and finish their degree. Then become a full time assistant and get their exp.

My sisters cousin did that. His eligibility ran out. He then went back to college as a coaches intern and finished his degree. Was a college WRs assistant got 2 years of exp. Then went to his high school alma mater and got the assistant Offensive coordinator job. Now he is the Offensive coordinator and assistant head coach.

Thats just one path, but the other path you said is one as well.

Also just because a dude gets drafted doesn't mean he will be a pro. shyt my cousin made that mistake. She went to college trying to be a semi gold digger and missed out. Dated one dude he didn't get drafted so she dumped him and then started dating another dude. The second dude she dated got drafted in the 7th round and got cut in the 3rd preseason game. The first dude that didn't get drafted bounced around on practice squads and was able to carve out a role as a special teamer for about 7 years in the NFL. This dude retired and is now the head coach of his high school team, married some sista and relaxing getting his NFL pension.

While my cousin sitting their empty handed..:mjlol:
