I don't know if this is a credible thought, or if I'm just feeling exceptionally paranoid today....

... but did anyone else think "oh great, yet ANOTHER tactic to keep young African American men from completing a University education" when they heard this news?

I was watching Paula Zahn Now a few minutes ago and they had two people debating this issue. The con-opinion (I don't remember his name) said that that this move will make the rates of college completion among NFL athletes drop even lower. Right now, the New England Patriots have the highest number of university graduates on their roster (54%), but now people -- our people -- are being lured even more toward the immediate gratification cycle, cause it's all about "getting that money."
