Edwards didn't shy away from his commitment. In fact, he increased it.

The 79 students were provided with laptops and other supplies to help them out when they arrived on campus.

Should have gone the Ernie McCraken route.

As a Cleveland Browns rookie in 2005, Edwards announced he'd give $10,000 in scholarships to 100 area eighth-graders if they could graduate high school with over a 2.5 GPA and 15 hours community service. Of the 100 who were afforded the opportunity, 79 met the criteria and have begun their first year of college.

Amazing that over 20% couldn't meet this abysmally low requirement.

just think if every NFL, NBA and MLB player did this. I believe it would make a real change in this country.
