<p>Now that I'll be going to a Division 1 School next year I'm wondering about many things.</p>
<p>Do you have NCAA athletes in your class? How do they act in class? How do you act around them? </p>
<p>Also what type of people do they date or are attracted to?</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve had several. They act like everybody else usually. I’m sure there are some entitled jerks out there but I’ve never encountered them. I act normal around them. They’re just students, same as you or I.</p>
<p>What kind of people they date depends on who they are, just like everybody else.</p>
<p>Yes. They sit and take notes like normal people. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Jersey chaser.</p>
<p>A lot of them are attracted to trashy sluts.</p>
<p>I passed two basketball players the other day thoroughly confused by a parking meter…
I go to University of Maryland.</p>
<p>@ginab591 haha what players?</p>
<p>During my summer classes, I had 5 football players and 4 women’s basketball players. Since they are on a scholarship, it’s required that they take summer classes so if you want to have a better chance on being in a class with an athlete then go to summer school lol.</p>
<p>There was a football player in one of my classes. I didn’t even know until the girl behind me in lecture hall whispered to her friend on the first day “OMG, it’s _________. OMG!”</p>
<p>I had 2 baseball players and one girl from the track team in my psychology lectures. But I’m guessing you are asking more about the popular stars on the Basketball and Football teams, haha =D</p>
<p>I have a starter on the girls soccer team and volleyball team in my history class, I was in the same class as someone on the girls swim team last semester</p>
<p>I’m also friends with the starting punter on the football team, someone on the swim team and someone on the men’s soccer team</p>
<p>by the way, the punter is an english major and has his own diary on scout.com, you should read the articles sometime, there’s some good stuff there: [Scout.com:</a> Dawson’s Diary Returns](<a href=“http://clemson.scout.com/2/953523.html]Scout.com:”>http://clemson.scout.com/2/953523.html)</p>
<p>Jon Scheyer was in my Ancient China class. And I always see Mike Kryzewsky at the starbucks down the road from my apartment.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Please tell me it was Vasquez. Please, please tell me it was Vasquez.</p>
<p>Even though my school has 27K undergrads, everyone knows the basketball and football players and they’re all great guys. I see a lot of them very often, because most of them live in my building. Last night I went to a small party/get together and one of the basketball players just showed up. It was pretty cool, because it was like 12 of us just chillin and he walked in.
I’ve had classes with a bunch of them and they’re just like any other student, except they’re getting paid to go to school.</p>
<p>@ “getting paid to go school” lol this is very true for many top recruits</p>
<p>“Please tell me it was Vazquez” hahahahaha</p>
<p>i strongly dislike him</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve got one of the football players in a class and he’s on my floor. Pretty chill guy, he’s like everyone else honestly. Except he has to go to workouts and study halls each day :P</p>
<p>You are going to Michigan State right?</p>
<p>Do you have NCAA athletes in your class? How do they act in class? How do you act around them?
Yep. They act normal-keep to themselves, take notes etc. I also live in a dorm where most underclassmen athletes are housed so I see them everywhere, especially at the dining hall. You just act normal around them - sometimes people ogle them more than usual, or might approach them to ask if they would take a picture with them but for the most part it’s not that big of a deal. </p>
<p>Also what type of people do they date or are attracted to?
One of the Spartan basketball players had a fling/was hook-up buddies with my good friend’s roommate. Many of them don’t date but instead hook-up frequently because they are “hot commodities” among the jersey-chasing girls at school. They mostly go for girls with big boobs and butt (and most importantly, those who will put out).</p>
<p>I actually almost ran over Tyler Hansbrough the morning of the UNC-Duke game last year. I was driving down Franklin Street, and he walked right out in front of me without looking. I know he’s used to taking charges, but I think it still would have hurt haha. I probably would have had to transfer if I hadn’t been able to stop in time,.</p>
<p>^ LOL he’s nearly 7 ft tall, how could you not see him coming ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I didn’t mean getting paid in the USC/Kentucky sense of the word.</p>
<p>so I was talking with a girl on the swim team at Clemson today. She said that in her communications class, someone gave a speech about how student athletes have it so much easier than everybody else which she wasn’t very happy about. She said that she takes the same classes as everybody else (you can’t replace Multivariable Calculus with MTHSC 101) since the guy claimed that athletic advisors tell them what easy classes to take, true they get to register earlier than everyone else but they train 30-35 hours a week and have meets so they can only have classes in a certain block of time and thus need to register first. Sure they have tutors just for athletes but everyone else can get tutoring too at the library or academic success center. And for the myth that all athletes get full scholarships, some aren’t on full scholarship, the person I was talking with said that she actually has to pay quite a lot for school (probably because swimming is a non-revenue sport) and if you’re a walk-on forget about a scholarship.</p>
<p>So my conclusion is that athletes don’t have it easier than everybody else. Playing a sport is a huge commitment and it takes dedication to do that and get a degree at the same time.</p>
