Many of our players come from poor families ... they need the money. We will always have a higher turn over rate given these circumstances.

Agreed - but I think the point was that of the pool of players who could leave early and are from poor backgrounds, there's still a disproportinate number from us that leave early.

No stats to drive these conclusions out just an opinion.

Watch the piece on Leonard Fournette from ESPN. As sad as it may be, hes probably in a better situation than many of our players because he has involved parents. Folks, in LA, particularly the NOLA metro area, some people live like they are in a 3rd world country. Half a million dollars is like an unimaginable pot of gold for these kids.
