This is why I love college football. These men are holding off on lucrative careers to learn more and play with friends

You only get penalized for being good enough to practice with an NFL team, if you suck then it’s ok.

That averages out to right under 5 starts per year. I know nothing else about them, but probably a reason a group of guys who average 5 starts a season are still in college for their 6th and 7th years.

Also, go get a job.

Shorthand way of saying more than 7 years.

Siale Taupaki started college in 2019 and is 25 years old

Brandon Mack started in 2018 and is also 25.

Just noticed it was an AI compiled image, and probably why it's inconsistent.

Your response was my first thought as well, but I could not get past why they did not just list it as 7th, instead of 6+; or 8th instead of 7+ like they did in other spots.

Justin Flowe is playing in his 7th season. He was the number one recruit in the country at one point in the Bryce Young and DJU class

Yeah that and the NCAA granted the UVA Football team an extra year of eligibility after they cancelled the remaining two games in the 2022 season due to shooting that killed a couple of the team members.

They have a job...being a college football player.

If you are 23 years old and you can take an entry level job making $50k a year or do something you love to do by playing another year college football earning 2x, 3x, 4x or more than you would in the entry level job why would you NOT play another year of CFB? EVERY ONE of us here would do the same thing.

I don't get the anger thrown at the players. They are just taking advantage of the marketplace that currently exists for them.

Well, in his defense, it may be an overreaction to the embarrassing SELA loss this past wknd
