That is the reason why some believe that going to college just to play a sport and not get an education is just fine. Much like kids like me who go to college to get ready for entering the job world, some athletes go to college to get ready to enter the football job world.
I think it is great that we try and watch out for those who are fed bad info and bank everything on a sport only to flop. But, who are we to say what a person should do with their life? People sometimes need to make their own mistakes. You can always go BACk to college to get a real education if you want, but you may only get one shot at a professional sport.
