He's probably getting a raise and an extension.
The former NY mayor? Or did you mean former Stanford OC Mike Bloomgren?
My uneducated guess, he'll have more Stanford grad transfer reinforcements once again. Rice MBA with 1 year fully paid for? Heck of a pitch.
I doubt that the first year of Rice's MBA program is a lot easier than Stanford's, and judging from experience, I can't imagine having the time commitment of football along with the first year of business school.
Depends on the background of the student. It might be hard for a non-athlete to go to business school and play football, but I am not really sure it would seem that difficult for a person that was on a Power 5 team and just navigated 3 or 4 years in the student-athlete experience.
A lot of business school is the time spent networking with current students & recent grads and various group projects. I would imagine that playing on the football team would make it easier to find current students and recent grads willing to network. A lot of first year students also spend time chasing down high profile internships, and that would not be a worry for a player with aspirations of getting called to an NFL camp.
Not easy, but not impossible. And they would have more memorable interview responses for...
Tell me about a time you worked on a team...
Tell me about a time when you performed under pressure...
