    lets see! trigonometry i use for calculating parts of the aerofoil slope on the wind-turbine i am designing now, the quadratic equation i have used for solving dynamic engineering problems that if they were not used life would not be so nice as it is as we would not have a clue what is going on...am shore that chemistry was of no use knowing how the fuel in you're car makes it work and that how hydrogen fuel cells are being developed to replace them. as for English not a grate favourite of mine but i use it a lot for making proper formatted industry standard lab reports for university that when in industry are used as evidence and why do we need physics only gives us new ways of communicating.....so yea your right you learn POINTLESS THINGS IN SCHOOL.....i mean why do we need to add numbers and know how the world works it just works OW WAIT! people need to keep in running and advancing!

    Let's not confuse patronage of sports by major universities in America with professional sports stars having an education. You do not have to be educated to play sports at the top level in America, you don't even have to be educated to get a university sports scholarship there.

    I'll guarantee you now that if cousin Cletus can catch, run and score touchdowns it would matter not one iota that he didn't have an education, he'd get snapped up by some franchise or other!

    Are you telling me that all those chaps who participate in the boat race are primarily at Oxford/cambridge because of their educational prowess??

    .....And you can be thick(like Terry Newton). and still live comfortably....If you were really highly educated and average at your given sport, then you would be destined for a life of annonymity....what as a spectator would you prefer, average or superb?

    Thats right, but you are confusing sports scholarships, where promising young sports players are given an education by colleges so that they will play for the college sports team, with professional sports. After rule changes in the recent past it is now neccesary for students on sports scholarships to maintain a grade average in order for them to play for their college after many students on sports scholarships were simply going through college not learning anything except their chosen sport. Collegiate sports players are not allowed to receive remuneration hence they aren't pro sports players!

    You don't need to have a good grade point average to play for the Dolphins just natural ability. the only reason a lot of pro sports players come through the colleges is that the colleges have excellent scouting networks similiar to, and in some cases better than, professional sports organisations.

    it is still a better system than we have to encourage players to get an education is that such a bad idea?

    Not neccesarily, college sport in america is the subject of some heated debate about the diversion of funding and resources away from mainstream education into the sports departments of colleges to the detriment of other, non sporting, students education!

    i think we should admire hardman we see too many young players have to retire through injury he needs something to fall back on when he's not playing anymore plus he's no scully etc doubt he's got loads of company's after sponsoring him so he's not likely to be set up for life unless he does it himself through education
