I'll never fault these guys for taking the quick $$$ of the NFL. I would in a heartbeat. If he goes early, he makes 7 figures his first year. Even if he only lasts a year, he spends the 5-10k to finish his education and he's exactly where he would be following graduation + $990,000.00. I think that's a pretty damn good deal. And I know plenty of brilliant businessmen/people without a degree...
But of course, I hope he stays as he is a huge asset to NU football.
