bullshite. You are a fricking idiot if you would tell your kid not to sign that 10 million dollar a year deal and instead get his degree in some stupid field that he might make 25k a year at.
A real parent would tell him to take the money but be smart with it and not go out and blow it all. Ten million could give anyone a very comfortable life for the rest of their lives if they are smart with it.

I'm not too sure where character was brought into this. I do not question either persons character. That is not what this is about. For me it is about the contributions and the overall success of the team, and how each type of recruit fits into that puzzle. While great players are fun to watch(and man did I ever enjoy watching LF) i would rather watch great teams!
This is a stupid thread and you are the dumbest poster in it.
It's not fournette 's fault his teams didn't win a NC
Nobody with any kind of football knowledge would pick Hester over Fournette. Hester himself would probably pick LF

I bet you would be signing a different tune if that were you or your son being offered millions to leave school early. Let's say you are in college to be a engineer and a company approaches you your junior year and says we will give you 3 million if you leave school today and come work for us. You going to say no ?

The irony is that OP never finished school

No. But how you going to stop it? The NCAA is the NFL's bitch.

I see we have a VERY early entry to "the dumbest OP of the year" thread...Well done OP..well done

Yeah. Fournette should come back for his senior year so he can get a degree that's not necessary for his main money making career opportunity. They can always return to college after they make their NFL money.

I think they have the right to leave and get paid whenever it's their time.
LF7 should have entered the draft after his sophomore year. He was ready.
Same for TM7.

Big time college football already acts like a developmental league that only benefits promoters.
They should just let them play and develop and leave when they feel ready. Then, when they're all done playing football at whatever level, have a full-paid scholarship to the school waiting for them. That way they won't waste their education on classes designed to help them fake their way through.

I'm sure we all share the frustration of seeing our favorite players move on to the pros, especially people like me that love college football and don't really care for the NFL, but it is what it is. There's no fair way around it.

They are usually paying their way lol

Most athletes are broke within 5 years after leaving the NFL

Well, you got the answer that I'm sure you anticipated. But ask all these freedom to cash-in seekers why so many other schools are able to keep pro-capable player through their senior year.
Many, many do you know, not 100%, but a good chunk. Take a look at Okie tonight for an example.

First things first, what ever the rule is, it should apply to all college sports across the board equally. PERIOD.
Hell yes a kid should be able to leave early. If a team determines that they are either ready or willing to train them their way and pay him at the age of 17, GO FOR IT.
School will always be available, especially after receiving mad amounts of cash early in his life.
That being said, just like today, once you sign paperwork / contract with an agent, your a professional and give up your eligibility in that sport.
If you decide that college is the path for you, when a school makes a commitment to you, that scholarship is binding to the school as long as you maintain your grades, that way if you get hurt, your covered. Conversely, if a student wants to leave and swap schools, he should be able to do that after any fall semester and neither the school or coach has any say in where he can go and this releases the school of their scholarship commitment to that student.
The people that should be bound to a school are head coaches. Those people are the ones that convinced kids to attend there based on their promises and then bail. If a head coach is fired, he is free to do what he must, but if a head coach leaves on his own volition, he must sit out a year before coaching elsewhere.

I know it sucks for the players who risk their athleticism for money and fail, but it's a choice and risk. Failing is sometimes good for people or at least it shows those who have drive and those who don't.

The rules are determined by the professional leagues not colleges. In the case of the NFL and the NBA they are part of the collective bargaining agreement with the respective player associations. I'm not sure about baseball but I think theirs is part of their agreement as well.
There are no rules that a kid HAS to go to college. Athletes are just like any other student when it comes to being bound by the school. They can come and go as they please. Entering a pro league is determined by the league not the schools.
