Let me get this straight Mr. Spanier, student athletes are graduating within six years and you are proud of this? Take some more initiative.

Most student athletes are taking joke majors available to all students or some of those ridiculously easy majors invented for football players and you're satisfied that they graduate within six years?

Mechanical engineer requires roughly 140 credits (I recall this being high relative to other majors).

Over six years that's about 23 credits a year, which ends up being less than 12 credits a semester (assuming no summer classes, which many student athletes take).

That's not even considered full time!

Basically the football players wouldn't even be eligible to buy student tickets for their own games.

With an easy major, the 18 percent who don't graduate must be the dumbest people on the face of the earth.

My dog could get a Sports Science degree in six years.

I guess the admissions department must now be accepting incredibly stupid students.

If I had to take the same classes as most of the football players I would have graduated in about four semesters and had a 4.35/4.00 GPA (sic).

And I am sure most students with real majors would agree.

It is appalling to me that the president of a major university, the university where I hold a degree, is satisfied with a group of students who take this long to graduate.

If these are the types of graduates PSU is turning out nowadays, my degree is being devalued more than the peso.

Why o why didn't I go to Stanford?
