    Between my 2-year degree, bachelor's, and master's degrees, I have 8 years of schooling under my belt. Note that I didn't go full time for my master's, so it was a 4-year process not 2.

    I have a friend whose daughter is going to veterinarian school, and it is a lot longer than some people that are in the medical field.

    Oh I believe it. I found it funny a few months ago when my son and I went to a UNH vs Clemson soccer match. My son is very good at soccer and is looking at these two programs. As they were announcing the starters very few of the men were not what I would consider a true college student. Most were "Grad" students cherry picked from other country's to play for the program....

    It should only take 8 years total to become a doctor. Four years of undergrad and another 4 years of medical school.

    If you get someone else to pay for it, why not?

    Wisconsin passed a law years ago to prevent a guy from attending state college forever. He would take classes for a major just shy of qualifying for a degree and then change majors. He did this for years. Apparently his father owned a very successful company and figured it was cheaper to pay tuition than hire him.

    The crazy thing is that several players from that freshman recruiting class are now signing their second NFL contract.

    With that said, this is partially why the transfer portal is a thing. Adding a bazillion years of eligibility due to covid and these injuries occupies valuable scholarships and playing opportunities for incoming freshman. These guys have almost no shot at getting into the NFL either partially due to age.

    I don't think there are any circumstances where a player should have more than 5 years of eligibility regardless of medical or intentional redshirts.

    Took me 9 years to get my BS. Factor in working 40 plus hours a week, getting married, managing a crumbling marriage for five years of it and my wife filing for divorce my last week of finals.

    All this degree talk is kind of funny, the doctor was a joke. Does he even have an associates yet? Nothing in the article about getting a degree or even how many credit hours he has or even what he's studying. It's only about sports and even says his goal is the NFL not a degree.
