Ross Bjork and Bass Fishing

On Sirius radio's SEC station this morning the guys were interviewing Ross Bjork, the Texas A&M athletic director, about A&M and how the cancellation of the spring sports impacted the school.

Although I did not get to hear the entire conversation, I gathered it revolved around what the various schools are going to do with their scholarships since the returning seniors, who would have graduated had they not gotten another year of eligibility, return to school and to their respective teams and did not give up their scholarships as expected.

Ross Bjork said that he thought the NCAA and the schools would work something out and that at A&M there was one athlete that he was not concerned about since the guy wants to be a professional bass fisherman. The team is called the Aggie Anglers and they fish the college tournaments.

I could not believe my ears. A PROFESSIONAL BASS FISHERMAN. A guy who is considered to be an athlete and fishes for A&M.

And no one, not the radio guys or Bjork, laughed or snickered or said anything silly at this declaration.

Looks like being a professional bass fisherman with a college degree is the way to go. Just show us the scholarship money. ?
