Summary

This quote, though cryptic, appears to criticize or make fun of college athletes by suggesting that they primarily focus on excelling in their sport rather than on acquiring a meaningful education. It implies that these athletes prioritize sports-related skills, symbolized by "bringing your pencil" (potentially referring to athletic gear or gear required for exams), rather than genuinely engaging in academics. Ultimately, the quote underscores a stereotype that some college athletes may prioritize their athletic careers over their educational development.
