Yes.  Bizarre as it sounds, our student athletes are students first and actually want to attend classes and graduate.  Imagine that.

Depending on your perspective, that can be a good thing. I remember one poster quite a while ago said that he wanted players who were football players first and students afterward. We're getting players now who leave without their degrees, so they may fit that bill. Other players, like Luck, graduate, and then leave after their true senior year with one year of eligibility remaining.
