There's a lot wrong about what the coach said, and how he went about it.

But I'd only be wasting my time.

whats that have to do with going to class and doing your work?
When those cameras are off you have no idea what those coaches are really saying to those guys about school. Some of them might be telling those kids that they are there to play football.

so the coaches want them to get bad grades so everyone (including the coaches) looks bad on camera?
No the coaches want them to go to practice, do film study, do in season conditioning, do out of season conditioning, do self workouts in the weight room and practice facility, meet with their position group coaches, meet with their coordinators, get treatment from the training staff, workout after practice with their teammates, attend camps, study the playbook and know it cold, on and on and on. That shyt is their job and coaches call that shyt buy-in, being a team player and having winning culture. None of that shyt has to do with them attending class.

In that video the coach was only interested in them getting Cs just so they could stay eligible. He didn't give a shyt if Eddie or Quan actually has the aptitude to get As in biology, chemistry or physics and he was not going to push them and challenge them to do it. It is just all part of the exploitation those kids have been subjected to their whole lives by family, friends and coaches. I used to be Pollyanna about the shyt just like you, but I have come to realize what the shyt really is.

They are not dumb. They are just not applying themselves. They are applying themselves to football,, the weight room and all of that stuff, but not to the classroom.
Good morning. I'm not gonna get into the other things you're saying, but this isn't a mutually exclusive type of thing. Some of those dudes are definitely dumb :mjlol:

If they suffered an injury and could no longer play football, they’re not going to turn into intelligent high-achieving students.

You are what your report card says you are.
