good suggestions but also how about some mandatory classes in ‘just because you are physically gifted does not make your opinion more important than anyone else’s’ or ‘political science’, or ‘constitutional law’, or ‘how not to be a dumba** 101’, and ’there’s more to life than your sport’ – just saying -- and before you get your undies in a bunch reading this – I was a jock through high school AND college and many of those I played with as well as many I see today, could have used these classes.
A student athlete I know is majoring in business with a specialty of personal finance. If he does not get into the pros he can help those zillion dollar rookies save and invest some of it and not turn into the next Vince Young.

Can you say “student athlete” and keep a straight face?
