Carson Beck Reveals to Media He Already Graduated 2 Years Ago

Segment Spotlight: Quick Hits From The Craig Carton Show

Professional Athletes and Academic Responsibilities

During a recent interaction on the Craig Carton Show, Carson Beck was questioned by a reporter about his class attendance amid a pep rally in Miami. The reporter inquired about which class he missed for the event, a question typical for major events such as the Super Bowl. Beck's response was surprising and humorous as he revealed that he had already graduated two years prior and, therefore, had no classes to miss.

The discussion then turned to Carson Beck's current academic and football situation. Despite having graduated, NCAA rules allow athletes like Beck, who still have eligibility left, to participate in sports as long as they meet minimal credit requirements. For Beck, this means he only needs to take two classes, or six credits. Craig Carton also humorously speculated on the nature of these classes, joking about Parks and Recreation being a likely field of study for student athletes like Beck at Miami.

This segment sheds light on the often-overlooked academic side of being a student athlete, particularly those who juggle graduate studies while participating in high-level collegiate sports. Furthermore, it also underlines the flexibility NCAA rules offer to athletes who wish to continue their sports careers beyond their undergraduate studies.
