That's not relevant to anything being discussed. It's a post graduate degree he did not earn while simultaneously trying to play college football for a major program. What is Rosen's degree in? Rosen doesn't have a degree. He's a third year college student with a major in economics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not alot of peolple interact with high end physiologists, because few exist. They are out there, absolutely. But not alot of them. Yes. This is exactly what I am talking about, actually. And you know that lots of Doctors are snarky !@#$s too, right, who think that sports science sucks, and that its not as important of other areas of research. And this is actually a problem, by the way, because its hard to find a doctor who has up to date, expertise in sports science. Its way sexier to be studying cancer treatments, and stuff like that. Sounds like we are actually on the same page for the most part. Cheers friend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business, marketing and Sports Administration.....are you claiming these are difficult to obtain. I had a 2 sports admin classes in college. I was taught (not lying at all) how to seed teams and create a bracket for rec league tournaments and the other was referring different sports. We were given those classes to keep our GPA's up because you basically made automatic A's and it kept you above the 12 hour limit to be eligible to play. I didn't sign up for these classes, our Athletic Department Admin got us in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Doug stayed in the Big Leagues. Quitter now i notice you didnt answer why bring up an August 2017 Article again? Thank you so much for this. No more truth has been spoken. Want a comparison, look at Pete Carroll (not a fan but...) who hacked it at both levels... Saban is and always will be a choade. Is he the GOAT (NCAAF Coaching), probably? However, is D-Bag Belicheck the GOAT (NFL Coaching), also a probably? Who cares, both are choades and I would not want either.

Y Notre Dame has a hard time landing recruits i mean all school Degree Programs are the same wouldnt as a too end athlete wouldnt you want to play for one of thise schools make it to league and get a prestigious degree as well? oooo wait because they are not. No matter what comes out of the quitters mouth IVY league schools don't offer athletic scholarships. Stanford isn't technically an Ivy League school, but it's elite. Stanford has good sports teams because they offer athletic scholarships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is some way we trade up and get a QB or stay put and one falls to us - a scenario in which we retain #22 - then McGlinchey would seem to provide good value there. Would certainly be a top notch RT and hedge our bets with Dawkins at LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
