That's assuming that individual wishes to start or complete their college education. A lot of people start college, leave, and never return for various reasons, so I do not think that former professional athletes would be exempt from that either.

All in all, the whole system is flawed and there are no guarantees either way, which is why we need to stress to athletes that they need to have a backup plan just in case things do not work out. It would be great if everyone that didn't pan out in the pros went back to college, but we all know that will not always happen.
