Or some kids want to finish school try to win a national championship then enter the pros and try to win the big dance.

Not everything is about money. Some is about goals you set while you are young. Unless you know why he is doing what he is doing you should not hate on his decision to finish out his school. Maybe he just likes to finish what he started. Maybe he likes school? Maybe he made a promise to a friend or loved one that passed away.

My friend, you walked into one of the greatest parables of the Black community in America in the 1970's.

In the 60's and prior, education was the top priority in our community. My parents told me and their parents told them to get that education so that you would never be without a job or starve.

We followed that rule religiously.

But in the 70's, there was one athlete that was offered millions to leave college once the graduation class rule was abolished, and he was hesitant.

He went to see his old man and asked him should he leave early and sign the contract?

His father said, "Why not?"

He replied, "But you guys always taught us to make sure we got a college degree and that that was the most important thing in life to do!"

Angrily, the Black father said, "Dammit! I raise the biggest FOOLS! That was so you can make MONEY, DUMMY! If someone is offering you millions, that's far more than a college degree can get you! Sign the damn contract and when you've got the millions and your pro contract career is over, THEN GO BACK AND FINISH AND GET YOUR DEGREE!"

Lol. Again sometimes people set other things higher than money.

So what the hell is wrong w/ an American kid doing what he really wants to do. Hundley wants to go back for his senior year he decides for himself.The problem is the pu**ies on the side line w/ the inflated egos who are not doing the work have so many avenues to put their dumb *** opinions these days.

Why trash a kid who wants to go to college for 4 straight years? He will never have that experience again, if he wants to see it thru, that's great.

What give your word and commit to it and see the commitment thru. That used to be praised in this country. Wonder why the hell we are in the shape we are in now.

Players shouldn't even be allowed to leave school early to enter the pro's...JMO.

That's not even close.

A better question would be if you needed a qb and could choose between Hundley or Winston who do you take?

I agree wholeheartedly! But as long as they can..............

If he were my kid, I'd tell him Hit the Pro's and I'll send you to college in the off season to finish up. $1million at the age of 22 can set you for life if invested correctly . I worked my whole life for that kind of security and I'm not close yet. I'd show him my hands , the scars and tell him to grab it while you can. But be smart with it.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

You can always go back to college....

The kind of money the NFL pays is a life changing thing.

I say make that money while you can.

And yes a good education is always a great.
