Would you rather play football in the SEC West or at Harvard?

Say you are good enough to go pro (but not 1st round pick good) and there is no guarantee on having a great career in the NFL.

Would you play for an SEC school with a better chance to go pro or would you rather get a degree at Harvard?


I gotta be honest, I'd go to Harvard and get a degree from a world class institution. There is less of a chance of being millionaire but I would still be set up for a fruitful career. But I'm also very unathletic and value education over sports.

Harvard. Even though it's a long shot, you could still play in the NFL.

If I have a chance to go to Harvard for free or drastically reduced price, I go to Harvard. I know they don't offer athletic schollies, but there are ways if they want you.

Go to Harvard and make enough money to own a football team, or play football in the SEC and shorten my lifespan by 30 years.


Hmmmmmmmm

There is no guarantee that a Harvard degree makes you a billionaire. Not even close. Six-figure salary is far more realistic.

Stanford instead of Harvard. You get a real college experience with a big time sports program in California and a top 10 education. best of both worlds

Sec west school. That would prepare me better for my NFL career even if I'm not a 1st round pick.

Sometimes writers will exaggerate to make a point. They are called hyperboles. They are not to be taken literally.

If you are good enough to go pro, the answer is the SEC. You are set with a job regardless especially if you are a good student.

Might as well take a shot at having the best nfl career you can

I've always said that if I was a high profile recruit that could go to any school in the country, it would be Stanford. You get everything at the school. A degree that's just as good as Harvard and play in a good conference and a good team.

I'd go to Harvard, I'd sell out. Start wearing $3000 suits as everyday wear. Drive a Ferrari California or something with my TD username as my license plate.
