I read this paragraph on ESPN in reference to how some guy on the UCLA basketball team is an awesome student. Not to take anything away from him but isnt this just what normal kids do in college? It just goes to show how bad college athletes can be.
“Aboya’s course load goes like this: He takes Principles of Microeconomic Theory three times a week and meets with the professor for 90 minutes a week; takes Statistical Method for Policy Analysis twice a week, with another 90-minute session with the professor once a week; and sits through Applied Policy Analysis twice a week and attends a nearly two-hour weekly tutorial session on Wednesday nights. In addition to all that, Aboya spends a minimum of five hours a week meeting with a tutor to discuss any or all of his courses.“
Sounds to me like Aboya’s course load goes like this:
- 14.01 + office hours
- 14.32 + office hours
- 17.__
- Pset help for varsity athletes (as needed)
I think this article backfired because to me it just makes his course load sound like a joke. Imagine what other athletes do..
