Of course plenty will flame out

Lots of examples of former professional athletes who have nothing now and no real education to back them up. It shouldn't be the job of educational institutions to give them phony degrees just to get them to their professional sport without preparing them for a future beyond that.

But hey, apparently there are plenty of worthless degrees now anyway and it's about time that some are questioning he wisdom of getting them.
