It's well known that athletic scholarships don't produce scholars.You mean like Bill Bradley? He was offered 75 scholarships but declined them to go to Princeton. After graduating in 1965, he attended Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship before playing for the Knicks. What about Emily Fox? She attended The University of South Dakota on an athletic scholarship and graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors and is a Phi Beta Kappa. She starts medical school next month. Or what about Kansas State student-athletes Matt Giller and Ryann Krais, (both on baseball scholarships) who were named recipients of the 2011-12 Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships in an announcement by the Big 12 Conference last month? Or athletic scholarship tennis player Parker Goyer, who graduated from Duke and won a Rhodes Scholarship in 2009? Or Harry Edwards, an Emeritus Professor at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). He attended Fresno City College from 1959 to 1960 as a four sport student athlete and transferred to San Jose State University in 1960 on an athletic scholarship in track and field. In 1971 Edwards earned his Ph.D. from Cornell and became a sociology professor at UCB. 'Nuff said. |
