Yeah for us four Texas/Oklahoma schools if we play a ball game at UCLA or CAL or somewhere on the west coast and its a prime time game then our guys/ladies which ever sport is being played will get home around 4am that gives them maybe 4 hours of sleep then get to class.

In the past everyone was put into regions for reasons.


its all about $$$$$$$ not about the student who makes this happen.
This is an aspect I know nothing about and so I usually just stay quiet. BUT, I hear the student-athletes who have gone on to the pros say that it was no big deal. Because they were all able to schedule their classes around that for the most part. Plus we see the Division 2 schools do it just fine.

But again, just what I heard said. I have no idea. Being a paying student at Green River College I didn't have that problem.
