Same old debate.

Most JUCO players wind up somewhere they can get a degree in "Sports Management", or something. SLU does not offer such degrees. There are plenty of great basketball players out there that cannot get thru SLU academics.

Is this guy one? I'd say, it is 100-1 "against".

Jeff Harris, Donnie Dobbs, PJ Tucker. Hell Villanova played a 6'5" 4 quite often. Do I need to go on? Shouldn't we make all 6'5" guys who can board 4's since there is such a long list of successful one?

I think you forgot TL III. But you're right, the list is extensive.

Yes, my bad. He did play the 4 quite often his freshman year. It was only due to UB's ability to recruit high quality bigs like Luke Meyer that we played him the rest of his career at 2/3.

Be careful Skip, there are some on this board who dream of a Billiken team made up of Paul Eckerle, Chris Sloan, Luke Meyer, and the like. They might never win a game but they would play a gritty, gutty style of ball and be exemplary in the classroom.

Just putting this out there, not to start something, but SLU DOES offer a Certificate in Sports Business this year http://www.slu.edu/x30800.xml

It will be, at least, a Minor next year.

:D

A certificate? What the hell is that? I have a participation certificate for basketball on my computer. If anyone really desires a certificate, just stop by and I can print you one out. I'll even personalize it for you.

Eastsidehoe needs one. It might give him some credibility. Please bring it to the game on Saturday.

We have a communications program that housed some players when I was at SLU.

Not saying the ones in bold are easy, but they're certainly not cryotechnology.

SLU's not MIT, it has easily attainable degrees.

Entrepreneurship

How can you expect this to be an obtainable degree when they likely cannot spell much less pronounce their own major. We are talking about a mentally dull group of people here. We need degrees like Sports and You or Recreation and Leisure. Physical Education would be a challenging degree for some of these guys being hidden.

the physical therapy major is not an undergraduate degree. and i believe the PT majors get the sports training degree as their bachelor degree. i.e. not an easy major.
