KFDM COOP Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 This is an excerpt from a recent LA Times article.Former Texas A&M star Antoine Wright, now a reserve with the New Jersey Nets, tells Bob Costas on tonight's edition of HBO's "Costas Now" that he received a better education in high school than in college."Once I got to college, I kind of let my hair down a little bit," Wright says. "I don't have to write term papers any more — I just have to get a grade now and play basketball."Costas: "Tell me what it was like in these agriculture classes [at A&M]."Wright: "In certain classes you see, you know, a quarterback, me, a running back, and then a farmer. So, it definitely was a little bizarre. But, we're all in poultry science for a reason. We're in this class because we need to get this grade. We're not really trying to learn about chickens."Costas: "You took one course in floral design. What was that like?"Wright: "It's not as easy as it sounds, to be honest with you. But they put me in there with a couple of athletes. You're gonna ask me a question about floral design — I can't answer it because I needed a grade."
