With the turnstile players, it's about how many years of eligibility do they have left. Getting a degree can mean less than getting a lucrative pro contract.
So coursework can be structured around maintaining eligibility. Graduation rates become fictional.
When NIL and the transfer portal checked in, I checked out and no longer follow UCLA basketball. And my interest in UCLA hoops goes back to when they played some games at the Pan Pacific Auditorium.
John Wooden would be appalled.
