San Jose Mercury: Aaron Rodgers slams Cal teacher who almost got him expelled
"Imagine the history of American professional football if, as Aaron Rodgers says, a professor at UC Berkeley had succeeded in getting him expelled after she told him he would never make it in the NFL or amount to anything.
"In a conversation this weekend with podcaster Joe Rogan, the reigning NFL's Most Valuable Player said his college career was at risk, which probably would have meant he wouldn't have been able to impress scouts for the 2005 NFL Draft...."
""She ripped me apart," the Green Bay Packers quarterback said about a meeting he said he had with the teacher during office hours. He said she told him, "You are an entitled athlete. You expect things to be given to you. What are are you going to with your life?"
"When Rodgers said he told her, "I'm going to play in the NFL," she replied, "No way in hell." ..."
"...Speaking more about the Cal teacher who tried to get him expelled, Rodgers said he and more than a dozen other members of the Cal Golden Bears football team were enrolled in a class that sounds like an easy academic class designed for students to fulfill a basic requirement."
