2.5 years for a bachelor’s degree

It really is not an accomplishment. If kids take college level classes in High School, after one semester of college they can become a sophomore.

If they go to summer school their first year. They will be Juniors entering their second year.

If they go to summer school again, they will finish college in the spring semester..

Now if you graduate in 2.5 years with out the college level classes in high school and play football, you are a beast lol

I'm doing my masters right now as we speak. Three years is the normal length, I'm doing it in two.

Please stop yapping such nonsense on the internet. It's an incredible accomplishment for these two. The workload for them, on top of the fact that they have to attend practices and meetings and do physical and mental work on their own in regards to football far succeeds what I'm doing outside of university.

But I guess that's modern these days: Talking down accomplishments from others for no ******* reason whatsoever.

While 2 and 1/2 years is impressive and worthy of all the compliments possible, it is also important to note that D1 football student athletes in general are taking classes every summer session as well as the regular semesters. They also have their schedules planned meticulously in order to make this a possibility. I had to work in the summers, so summer courses were not an option for me. Again, I’m not trying to diminish their accomplishments - it’s impressive - but I did want to illuminate the reality.

I worked, coached, and took evening classes every summer.

If you’re referring to Austin Simmons I’m pretty sure he “graduated early” because he was a “hold back”. May have even been a double hold back and graduated late

He was homeschooled until HS. By the time he got to HS, he was taking dual enrollment classes and graduated in 2 years. He is truly a smart kid with a high work ethic. Likely already has one degree.
 
Williams and Samson have to be smart and highly motivated kids. The parents also made sure they were put in the right positions to be successful on and off the field. Impressive to see not one but two kids pull it off.

Pancake will be the 6th OL and start next year hopefully he stays the course. He seems like the type to stay and trust the process and coaching. He would’ve left already if he didn’t right??

I wonder, did they do it all in coursework? Is CLEP still a thing? I was able to finish my bachelor's degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry in three years. But I knocked out a bunch of hours with CLEP tests. But I finished in 1974.
