Bryant Crawford Hiring An Agent, Staying in Draft

[Deaconblue]

Something like 99% of college athletes "go pro" in some field that is not their sport in college. That is where the student part of student-athlete becomes useful. And a degree even moreso.

Or some of us have become adults, lived our lives, met people we may have once considered #publicschoolfilth and realized that we aren’t better than them just because we went to Wake.

True. We are better than them for a handful of other reasons.

I totally get your point. but I think most/all coaching jobs in the NCAA require a college degree. I seem to recall it was a problem for Sydney Lowe at NCSU.
For some careers a college degree might not matter. But to act like stopping 75% of the way to a degree from a top 25 school is a good decision seems a little bit of a silly position.

Someone brought up Lowe earlier. It was only a “problem” for Lowe in that he had to spend the summer after he got hired taking some online classes at some podunk school. In other words, it wasn’t a problem.

Yeah, but Crawford is in the 1%.

Maybe some of them don’t want to work at Enterprise.

This cannot be repeated enough.

I was going to say that I think he and Moore made a bad choice, but who the heck knows. I guess I’m not happy they left and it feels like a bad idea to me, but I’m not sure for Crawford that another year would really make him a better player. Moore on the other hand, might have benefited from staying another year and producing at a higher level.
