I bothered to do some research. The average NFL career is roughly three years. According to SI and USA today articles, 80% of the players in the NFL have serious financial problems within two years of their retirement. All that glitters is not gold.

Don't these guys realize that getting a degree is a guarantee at financial security!!!
That diploma is a free ticket to guaranteed employment, prosperity, and happiness!!!
Think it through guys!!!!

Do you realize how much cheaper paying for 1 extra year of college at a public school is than missing an opportunity for 1 year in the NFL. Rough estimates are $3k-10k v $400k Not exactly a tough decision. Aside from the fact that they could out a student loan if needed like the rest of us.

If they aren't, then they were never going to graduate on their free education anyway, and even if they did, whatever they were studying wasn't important enough to get them a job based on that anyway.
All this right here is exactly correct.
