While I agree that the numbers are very disturbing and that these kids would be better served with a college degree, let me ask all of you a question. If, after the first two years of you college experience, you thought you could be successful in the field you wanted to persue, "experts" agreed with you and someone was willing to pay you millions of dollars to leave college who can honestly say they would turn down the chance?

I know I wouldn't. Why should I, college will always be there. With the millions I'm gonna make, I can pay for my own education. Besides, I may be successful and will be set for life. Sounds like a no-brainer. Especially when we are talking about a sport, which means you risk injury that eliminates your playing ability and any chance at a professional career.

Just my thoughts, feel free to disagree.
