Vito writes for a paper in a town that is almost completely apathetic to the program, with a sizable portion that absolutely loathes our athletic teams’ existence. Nobody with a brain should ever be surprised that Vito isn’t a UNT homer—he writes to cater to the 100 people that read the newspaper still.
I disagree. It's pretty well known that universities are diploma mills for athletes, particularly revenue sport athletes. The name of the institution name on his degree will open up more job interview opportunities, sure. But then he will have to go perform in said interview and actually land the position. Then, perform. Not saying he doesn't have the mental aptitude to do just that. But I am certainly not saying that he does. My point, it's a foregone conclusion that so many of these dudes are just pushed through to maintain eligibility. What are they actually learning? How many have taken exclusively online classes? We say these things, "oh, he'll have this degree from this place", without bringing context to their reality.
