Kjerstad was finishing college degree

[tntoriole]

This story makes little sense to me.  Do organizations have zero input over what their employees do just after giving them 5 million? How does getting a degree right now advance his baseball production for the Orioles?

What a waste of time! No matter what degree it is, he'll never make as much money with it as he will playing baseball!

I got curious what Kjerstad was majoring in at U. of Arkansas.   It’s Recreation and Sports Management.   https://catalog.uark.edu/undergraduatecatalog/collegesandschools/collegeofeducationandhealthprofessions/recreationandsportmanagementresm/

Perhaps he wants to analyze the different types of turf at opposing stadiums? Or is that more vegetation management?

1. Knowledge is power.
2. Power corrupts.
3. Knowledge corrupts.

 

It's pretty simple.

Mike Elias has repeatedly said that Kherstad missed camp due to a non-baseball medical issue.  If he used his recovery time to earn his degree, good for him.

Keep in mind you can substitute Time for Money in these equations.

There is really no such thing as absolute knowledge because even if someone knows everything to know, which is impossible, someone would come up with a new something that was unknown before.   If the previous comments were a knock on Kjerstad  because he is finishing his formal education, that is a very sad commentary on  this society.

I'm sorry, but that just cracked me up after reading the other poster's rant about his education that will "last for a lifetime".

I really hope he got a full ride, because that degree doesn't look like it's worth the paper its printed on
