That's pretty much the question.
I can see where that would cause some not to be able to upgrade to the majors. I am making a career change and my goal right now is the regionals once I reach ATP mins. I already know going in that for me to get past the regionals I will either have to get a degree or the majors will have to loosen the requirements of having to have a degree. As of right now I am ok with making a career at the regionals.
