For student athletes, time to focus on school is limited, so choosing a major is challenging.
Some student athletes, like junior Kendall Gray, have a tremendously high probability of becoming a professional but also choose to put themselves through an intense time in school.
Gray said she plans to graduate with a mechanical engineering degree by spring 2019. Because golf is a full time job, Gray will finish her last year of golf eligibility in 2018 but remain at the University of Idaho for an extra year in order to accomplish her goal.
Sports are basically a full time job for student-athletes like Gray.
