Dude you cant force an adult, over the age of 18, to NOT work and FORCE him to stay in school and earn a degree.

Can't or won't? The NFL already requires 3 years out of high school. What's an extra year?

Most of the former NFL players I've spoken to emphasize getting the degree. Imagine how things would change if the NFL required a four year degree.

there are many, many reasons this wouldn't happen. The 3 year rule is largely to guarantee physical development. A lot of guys to go back and get their degree, Devery Henderson and Early Doucet are taking classes at LSU this semester.

Underclassmen leaving early was unheard of, if not allowed by the NFL, until the USFL snatched Herschel Walker from UGA after his junior season.
