He can't understand why he can't just play football and not have to worry about the school stuff.
The real reason is so we dont feel guilty about watching them on tv and having the schools make money off of them for free. insisting that every kid in america should try to get a 4 year degree is fricking naive - we need more trade and technical schools in this country.

So many things wrong with that statement...

I'm sympathetic for the kid. By all accounts, he does not lack work ethic. He loves football and works hard at it. He just doesn't like school.
I hope for him he makes it, builds a nice nest egg playing football, then finds a solid job where he won't have to have a degree.

Who insists that? The NFL? I can think of many very good reasons why the NFL wants that to be the case.

Well if you insist on playing in the NFL- you have to prove your good enough. Right now, the best way and only way to do that, is to go play college ball at some level.
