The NBA does not actually stop people playing basketball. It does not stop people putting in thousands of hours trying to get to their minimum bar. Organic Chemistry 1 is not trying to get into the NBA. It’s trying to get into a high school basketball team. Thousands of people do well enough at high school basketball to play university level. Most of them have no hope of playing professionally, anywhere. Organic Chemistry is only “that important” if you’re going to study chemistry, medicine or possibly biology. If you can’t pass it you’re not going to make it. Weeder courses exist to fail people who wouldn’t have made it sooner rather than later. You can do it at community colleges or open enrollment universities with no admissions standards like CUNY.
