because, as you mention, in order to maintain eligibility they have to go to class. That's 15 hours a week (at least) right there. Plus mandatory study hall (even if they don't need it), plus workouts (10-15 hours per week), plus meetings. Plus outside time working on position specific stuff with their position group ("voluntary" of course).

It's always funny to me to see how the average person actually has little to no idea how much time a D1 athlete spends at their sport.
