I was making very specific statements about one set of players, the collegiate basketball players which I had looked up and provided links. It is probably higher for tennis and golf. But what degrees do these players get? That really is the core. It isn't whether they can get a 4 year degree, but whether they have actually had any theory about physics and complicated vector mathematics that underly the sport I'm still waiting for any statistic regarding pro athletes that go on to earn peer reviewed honors in science. Clearly if they know physics better than the professors of physics, we'd expect at least some Nobel prizes to be going to former pro athletes. Let's find those! What percentage of pro athletes are awarded any scientific honor or patents? I found one but the patents of Walker from the Negro Leagues was for motion pictures, and not for his field of baseball. He was an outsider to the field of motion pictures!!! Ha ha ha. So even that supports my position. Sometimes outsiders have better insights than "experts"!
