” ‘If you want to be a pro athlete, you don’t need to spend 50% of your time in class’”

Correction:

If you signed a contract, where given a multi-million dollar, non-refundable, no questions asked signing bonus, and the check cleared, then yes, you really don’t have to go to class.

Create a league around 18 to 21 year olds. At 21 if they are not drafted they can go to college.
