I’m always amazed how kids can graduate early while being a college athlete! Congrats, to all!

I think a lot of it has to do with the classes they are able to take in high school.  It’s not uncommon for a kid to graduate high school with an Associates degree.  Impressive still, but it’s not like they’re taking 20 hours per semester in college.

Congrats to Grant!

I guess this is being interpreted as a negative, but it’s not meant that way.  The post was intended as informative as I figured there are some (maybe many) who don’t realize how many hours of college credits a kid can have before ever graduating from high school.  I know of a few kids who graduated high school and junior college the same semester…and I’m not exactly in the loop, so there have to be many others.  
There have been at least two students who were hired as teachers at a local school two years after they graduated high school.

Congratulations Grant!  You're obviously smart and have a good work ethic to graduate with honors in three years.  I'd imagine that you can get your Master's in the amount of time that you have of eligibility.  I wish you every success in the classroom and on the field.

The three year timeframe to get a degree is becoming more and more common.  Mostly due to students getting college credits in High School.  That said, if I had it to do all over again I would have taken 6 years to graduate! 😀

Had a Fraternity brother that was in school for 7 years. Smartest guy I ever meet. In a certain kind of way.

Not sure how pointing out that students can get a fair amount of college credits while still in high school equates to it being easy.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
