Also, no Twinkies without a graduate degree!
That pretty much kills the entire sport of women's gymnastics domestically.
Good thing the bar will remain much lower to start a thread on LR.

+1.
I'd rather have uneducated athletes than a government with its hands so far in my business that it regulates whether an individual is allowed to enter a particular industry based on educational requirements that have nothing to do with the job in question.
Anyway, why punish phenomenal athletes who are too young to be reasonably expected to hold a college degree? Per your proposal, most collegiate athletes could not compete in the Olympics. This is an arbitrary restriction that does nothing to further the purported goal of promoting education.

Boom!
Ignorance has nothing to do with education.
For example, the "educated" OP thinking that his rule would change the number of people who would finish college.
Ur grammar is appalling,

Another good example is your ignorance in thinking that the OP was doing anything other than trolling.

Typical tactic of the left: when you can't attack the data or the message, attack the person. If you disagree with the message but know that you can make no case against it, you attack the person.

I also think he may have bad teeth.
It was "appaling" when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
Graduated from college.

"HAS BEEN graduated from college," if you're getting really picky.
By the way, some 20% of American adults think that the Sun travels around Earth, rather than that Earth rotates.

oh you moron. you do realize that the rotation of the earth is different than the earth's orbiting of the sun??? you see the earth orbits the sun but ALSO is rotating. the rotation is what gives us the 24hr day while the orbit is what gives us the year. you seem to be confusing them.
now to be more technically correct: ignoring all other massive objects, the sun and the earth could be described as rotating about each other at a point equal to their center of mass. this is of course near the center of the sun b/c it is far more massive.
