Not to disagree with OP because I think getting a college degree is one of the most important things athletes can do. However, the window to make money playing professional sports is very small for most athletes, especially in the NFL. If you can take the money while you are young you can always go back to college. But like the OP is saying, eventually getting a degree is very important.

I don't like what's going on in major college programs, with the elite kids seemingly playing a couple of years to prepare themselves for the NFL and leaving after the obligatory two years for a shot at making it at the next level. I'm especially disturbed by the number of LSU players' leaving early the past 2-3 years. However, you can't blame a can't-miss guy like KeKe Mingo - especially that he's back at school getting his degree.

On the other hand: Trei Turner? Negative.

Its not as bad as you think. Reid and minter already graduated. So you have EEs and red shirts. They have been here ling enough to get a degree. Not everyone who left LSU before eligibility ran out, left before getting a degree.
