A degree ain't what it used to be

Universities turned into diploma factories for their insatiable appetite to build lavish campuses and cash in. I want the higher ed bubble to burst more than the college athletics one. Harvard offers a 3-credit hour class on Taylor Swift. Colleges cheapened the value of higher education more than athletes ever did.

No, but the door is always open to get a degree, the window for NIL is not

Rice is an excellent academic university
Hokie1992 • 04/02/24 12:36 PM ET
I’d imagine they end up with less then 120 college credits
Hokie1992 • 04/02/24 09:55 AM ET
In the world of college they can transfer

That’s the challenge if they jump between colleges
