Well, that demolishes the jocks=troglodytes stereotype.

 

And looking it up, apparently troglodyte means cave dweller aka caveman.

I guess it all depends on upbringing. My father was a D1 football scholarship 
athlete and got a BSEE and MS in biomedical engineering in addition to being a 
fighter pilot. My grandfather was also a highshool athlete who got a deferred 
congressional nomination to the Naval Academy, but ended up going to Univ. of 
Akron instead and graduated with a BSEE. He ended up being one of Werner Von 
Braun's best friends and they did a lot of work on missiles and rockets  
together. I was a three sport athlete in HS and had offers for football and 
soccer for college. I ended up taking a soccer scholarship mostly because I had 
a neck injury that I was afraid would be compounded if I played college level 
football. I ended up with a BSEE as well. I'm 48 and still play organized 
soccer at least once and sometimes twice a week. We aren't all troglodytes.
