That's true. They could have some sort of "physical education" track where the students are getting credits for hands-on experience (through playing) and when they get done with 2 years, they could have an Associate's Degree or something. Then they have some education under their belt. If there are real classes as a part of that, they might even have real-world skills.

You know what would be really cool? Having them take business and financial management classes while they're in the G-league. As part of their degree, they would be getting an education on how to invest their money, be smart with their earnings, and maximize their personal brand. Then they could be equipping the students (athletes) to succeed, rather than just giving them millions of dollars when they have no clue how to use it wisely. Just a thought.
