they are NCAA - but remember, if a general studies degree is available, then the NCAA accepts that as a degree program. That is what you are missing!!!!!
How confident is Painter that Pack will come to Purdue?

Can Purdue athletes go into the Exploratory Studies program for 4 semesters and remain eligible?
Student athletes commit to academic achievement and the pursuit of a degree. They are required to meet yearly standards to be able to compete. These progress-toward-degree rules require athletes to advance toward graduation each year. College athletes’ progress is monitored by grades, minimum credit hours per year and degree progress.
Go find out for yourself .... not a single athlete that I know has ever gone into that program... Jesus Ch /// will you ever admit you're an idiot
Foster will forever be a hero for stomping on the logo at Ass Hall.
Oh go crawl into a politically based cave ..., I am upset because debating with an idiot is frustrating
or like one of trumps followers after a trump rally. his followers get pretty riled up and also destructive after his rallies
I took several classes online, it's a great tool for those with different schedules and needs. And if exams are proctored then there's hardly any difference from a normal class, except you just won't be in a class room. There was really no point in that article other than "well they may not be doing their own work" as if all students are doing their own work and the athletes getting help from a student is suddenly a heinous crime.interesting read;

Back in 2019, Purdue athletics had a graduation rate of 86%. I think basketball was a little lower than that. But that tells you that student athletes are not just hanging around in a general studies program...
Glad to see this thread turning into another dumpster fire
Ummm ... and exactly WHO caused that? Ignorance seems to be the primary cause for dumpster fires,
Graduating from college in a major that's not engineering or something similar, isn't "That" difficult when you have every possible advantage designed to keep you eligible. If it were, you'd see a much higher academic casualty rate that whatever it is currently.
The foreign language aspect part of it for me was the most difficult, math was a struggle but I don’t believe anything above Algebra 2 was on the schedule. For what it it’s worth I joined the trades after graduation and retired at 51.
So are you suggesting that every other major other than engineering is easy? That's really just not a very smart viewpoint. The fact that these guys are practicing daily and traveling extensively is like someone with a full time job going to college at the same time. Your take on this lacks logic...
Just stop. You have pursued this entire line of questioning at twice before and been corrected and informed categorically by people that know.
No, that's not what I said. Engineering and some of the other majors are clearly more difficult, require considerable time commitment, a lot of natural brains (and in the absence of natural brains the willingness to make up for it with hard work). That's why you see very few athletes in those types of majors but you see lots of athletes in things like Supervision, Exercise science, criminology.
And again, they have access to every possible support needed or desired in order for them to do what is required to stay eligible.
You won't see any Purdue athletes in Supervision, Exercise Science or Criminology
Engineering requires a considerable time commitment? Man, I really must've done something wrong.
I'm not sure what this post means, but many PU Athletes are in OLS .... But, Akeem Hunt graduated with a degree in Kinesiology ... That is one hell of a difficult major. Jackson Anthrop was in a tough major too, but I don't remember what it was. One of the quarterbacks a few years ago graduated in Construction Technology Mgt ... a heavily math oriented major.

And Elijah Sindelar who actually did get a degree in Electrical Engineering. But apparently he had "every advantage" that none of the rest of the engineering grads had. Sorry...bonefish doesn't seem to understand what kind of a "time commitment" being an athlete is.
Purdue has no major called Supervision, Exercise Science or Criminology
There used to be a Supervision major in the School of Technology. Maybe it has been renamed to Organizational Leadership or something similar?
Yea Organizational Leadership is probably it now but I was just being overly simplistic in response to bone
If they were talented enough to play at those schools in the South, they would have that luxury.
Purdue offers plenty of majors for student-athletes, but, it also...just like so many (although maybe to a lesser extent)...offers majors that are anything but rigorous...AND, they have a ton of help at their disposal as well.
Ha ok. I didn’t read earlier comments since we went down this road with him before (yearly it seems).
You were able to come up with one example from 5 years ago? I think I said less than 5 % are in some sort of engineering major. Meaning, the vast, vast majority of these guys are at Purdue to play football, not take the toughest major.
When I was in school, it was called supervision, or something similar. It's what most of the guys in my house majored in when they couldn't hack it in engineering.
A useless endeaver ... you can never be simplistic enough for Boner.
What in the hell is your point here? Like more than 5% of the football players at Stanford are there for the education? Why are you so focused on proving that Purdue athletes are ... geez, I can't even figure out what you are trying to prove ... and failing miserably.
I made some calls. Almost all the athletes at O$U, MSU, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and, wait for it, IU .... are there to get a degree in their toughest major. I know --- amazing!!!!
I just hopped on here to see if there was anything new with Pack’s transfer.
You found out that was a waste of time didn't you? Let's talk about what major guys are in, is it hard? Is it easy? Is it on-line?
