Isn't it the case that for many players they either can't get into graduate programs at Cal or Cal doesn't offer a program of interest to them? Or are there other sorts of "graduate" certificates and programs that have been developed that have a lower entry bar? I wish Brooks all the best and he will always be a Golden Bear!

IIRC correctly, Cal has developed a graduate degree that many athletes can apply for. I seem to recall it is through the business school, I just don't recall what the emphasis is. Perhaps someone has a better memory than I? Could be that Chris and others don't have an interest in it. Collin Moore, IIRC, was in it this year.
I wish we could do away with these ruses. The reality is that football is its own instructional program, akin to say music. Just call it what it is and let them directly enroll in the football instructional program.
Why not? I think what they would learn in that program would be more useful and applicable to their adult lives than many of the existing programs on campus. You could build in courses on coaching, athletic training, nutrition, personal finance, basics of contract law, and so on.

it's the masters in public health (Davis Webb, for example was in the program -https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/ncaa/how-texas-made-quarterback-davis-webb-fell-love-berkeley)
no it is not. There is a specific 1 year grad business certificate. The MPH program is a legit 2 year program which Davis Webb did not complete.
Our MPH program is one of top ones in the world. ItтАЩs not some bozo faux degree.
There are also one-year graduate certificates: https://grad.berkeley.edu/program-proposals/proposing-certificate/certificate-guidelines/
From what I remember, a lot of returning seniors are in an entrepreneurship certificate program.
Bingo, this was the one I was trying to recall, ty.

Then they can go to class and learn the playbook.

That would be great and make the life so much easier for the athletes.
