Dillingham graduated

Hey! I do well with my communications degree. :p Lots of people do not though. There are some things about public speaking you can't teach and it shows.
I’m not saying nobody never gets a good job from it but it’s obviously a course of study they use for athletes. It’s not like graduating Med school is my main point, maybe I should use underwater basket weaving lol. More than that I was mainly referring the HS track, with as many academies as he went to there was no structure he had to meet for academics like most students. Lots of easier stuff not exactly AP calculus. Like how Lively graduated in like 2 weeks for Duke and needed a bunch of core classes. Not that it matters because they wanna go pro in basketball not a spelling Bee as Cousins put it.

I think it's a good major for athletes. Many great analysts/sportscasters were former athletes and the degree definitely helps. Many of the good ones were good college players that didn't make it professionally or had their careers cut short. It's a good post playing career or fallback gig.

No, the criticism is definitely warranted. It's not a major where the job you are getting is set in stone. You have to go find one yourself. A lot of graduates either aren't prepared or do not have the initiative to do this.

I think a better major would be economics since so many ballers go broke once they’re out of the league. I think I saw something that said 60% are broke a certain of years after they’re out of the league. A major in economics pays for itself and if I had a do over I’d major in it myself instead of biology.
