      No it doesn't, sorry, I was a former college all american (high school all-american) and national champion and I can say for a fact that my coaches NEVER had a meeting like this and I spoke with other players from other schools whom also stated this attitude of coaches. it might be different now with all the over the table monies but for the most part, look at the graduation rates across the board for college athletes. Coach Prime is rare and yes, there are some others like him but on the most part, few.

    I was at Colorado in the 1970's when we were a top 20 team. I saw football players go from playing on Television, being featured on sports pages to being dish washers at Denny's. Saw the same attitude the professor described in his letter from student athletes who were my classmates. That's why I'm a coach Prime fan, 90% of Colorado football players will not get pasted the combine. Don't leave CU WITHOUT A PIECE OF PAPER.

      DING DING DING🌟!!! There it is...the statement I was looking for. The parents idolizing their children instead of parenting them. These children nowadays are entitled as ever. Look at Shaq's son Shareef, Lebron's son Bronny... haven't even done anything but think they deserve to go to the League SMH.
      It's the parents who dropped the ball by not installing a strong foundation within their children to prepare them for life in college and beyond.

    The question has to be asked why wasn't the coaching staff or football staff aware of this situation before it escalated this much? At some schools they have checks in with the players to make sure they are going to class, they have people talking with the professors to make sure they are doing things right, and in a lot of cases they make sure the student-athletes are doing it right.

    They weren’t instilled discipline at home and/or discipline wasn’t carried out or supported wholeheartedly during their school years during some time prior to college. In other words, troubled behaviors were ignored after becoming high school favorites, at the least and now, here we are.
    These guys WILL be denied further opportunity when their lives are led with bad behavior and not led with disciplined behavior. I understand how this professor feels and so do educators across the nation. This experience that this professor is having isn’t different from the experience of some first grade educators. I know. I have family who are in this line of professional.
    I hope the professor gives the guys the grade they earned and dismiss them from the class each day they are disruptive. And, if necessary refuse to accept the individuals back into class without them having a scheduled meeting with Coach Prime, their direct coach, the professor, the dean, and the student. I’d suggest each student walk through this fire individually. And, be penalized from both ends of the system if it’s decided to be the best course of action. There ought to be a recourse for threats and or acts of intimidation to anyone in the system including students reporting such acts.
    Privileges including NILS or starting roles on the team or any other qualifying penalty should the student not exhibit excellent behavior as an academic immediately.
    I would recommend everything is implemented immediately. This gives instantaneous shift in action for the student. If the student need a tutor to catch up it’s his responsibility to get one. The professor should not pass any athlete who hasn’t produced passing work.

    I don't know as a fact, but I wouldn't be surprised (I taught in the NYC public schools) if athletically talented kids were pushed along in school throughout their education without learning fundamentals- appropriate reading and writing levels etc. Guessing at a college level they might not be able to follow along with what is being taught and cover it up with disrespectful, arrogant and distracting behavior. They should be given tutors to learn basics and break down the subject matter. They possibly feel entitled as they have been treated that way- encouraged to get through school only on athletics, academic ability not enforced...

    One of Stephen A's best. Until the term student-athlete goes away from professional college sports, part of their job is to go to class and do something viable while going to class. NIL money might be nice...but it will not cover a person long term. Very few are going to make big money in the pros. Either get a degree or master a trade, because without one and/or the other, it will not take long to go from 21 and a bag of money to 25 and homeless.

    Nothing new here. My best friend growing up went to Arkansas in the 1980’s. He talked about the “Special Tests” that were given to members of the football team. They would skip class on the days of the tests and would subsequently be given makeup tests that were much easier to pass. Once the other students found this out, they skipped the regular tests, and then had to take the same makeup tests as the football team, making obtaining a good grade much easier.
