So, who quit?!

What if he blows he knee out so bad it ends his career? You have never seen the ton of players that get their degrees in the summers?

I’d buy an insurance policy for him.

I've seen the ones who went broke.

I’m sure they’d have been financially solvent with that Sociology degree before signing as an UDFA.

Honestly Butchna, I would say any degree that ends in studies and many others should be taken out of the course list.

The juniors who declared for the draft instead of playing their senior year, by definition, quit on their team.

So by your definition guys like Alvin Kamara, Cordarrelle Patterson, and even Eric Berry are all quitters. Maybe you should rethink this.

Then you lose a lot of talent to schools that load up on said courses.

Would just be simpler if the feds didn't back student loans.

They are under obligation to stay... :crazy:Let them pursue their dreams and maybe get paid in the NFL

Pruitt is a perfectionist. I never heard him praise a UGA player, except Dominick Sanders. He said, "I like the way that kid plays."

You can expect mostly negative comments from him. That's just his personality.
We had just laid 52 on Spurdog and the backups let USC score at the end of the game. Pruitt went ballistic.

I used to think this way but I have changed my mind. If real changes are going to be made, I think Freshman should not be allowed to play and then make the rule 4 years from HS not 3 (I think that is the general rule for entry into the NFL?). This still doesn't preclude injury in practice but it would keep a lot of guys healthier while only exposing them to 3 years of game damages.

Hopefully someday the feds will come to their senses and only back loans for STEM degrees. Anybody wants the other choices, have at it and pay for it yourself.
