LB1914: I know many athletes who are in the same situation that you described. My ex played in the NFL and he only made like $80k per year. That is not alot of money, especially when you are trying to keep up with your teammates who are making millions of dollars per year. My point is, even he skips college, goes pro and comes out with $0, he can still go back to college- torn ACL and all. He will be a little older than the traditional freshman, but so what? He will have that NFL experience and still have the opportunity to get the degree.
Somebody said that they thought this may be a plot to prevent young black men from going to college. I just don't see it like that. No one is preventing anyone from doing anything. You can always go back to college.
