It's two things rather than just hearing one, one.
In my generation, it was like, I'm going to NFL.
It was nothing like...
It was nothing like, all right, what job do you want to get?
Where are you going to college?
What college do you want to go to?
You want to just play football?
I wasn't like, all right, where are you going to major?
Where are you going to go to college?
What college has the best major for that particular department?
field so you're kind of doing a disservice to yourself because you're never going to be able to well it's a business it's a business town because most of like del state is a good example a lot of them take communications but they're they don't know what they want to do with that communication major but if you look at the numbers a lot of other students are in the particular field that they want to work in
So you have a lot, statistically, you have a lot of college athletes that are doing a major that they know nothing they want to do with.
So at the end of the day, it is a business that college is putting those athletes in a major to where they're getting a degree.
But at the same time, it's just opening doors for other students that are going to do it in real life.
Day one, when I went to Titans, I got off the plane.
I was like, yeah, this is a business.
So what it looked like for me is go home.
If that time comes, this was me sitting there in the Tennessee Titans meeting room.
