Seems like a quick solution to this problem would be to force any dropouts that didn't already have a rate to send them back to school or to just drop the policy of allowing fresh recruits to attend BUD/S. This seems analogous to how some universities that have big football/basketball programs will allow their players to perform poorly in classes and graduate with weak degrees. The players all have aspirations of going pro but very few will actually do so and while some may end up in coaching roles, the ones that don't or are injured are totally unprepared for college degree careers. Same thing with many high school players; they likely wouldn't be able to get into college on academic merit so if they can't get a scholarship or get injured, they've effectively wasted their education. The schools that do things properly ensure that all students regardless of athletic status receive a rigorous education so that if they don't get to play ball at the next level, they are prepared for their next stage in life.
