Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 836906, member: 289"] I caught this on ESPN yesterday and it's kind of stuck with me as I realized what was behind it. Lou Holtz, Reece Davis and Mark May where talking about which college football players might come out early for the NFL this year. All were in agreement that a player needs to fully develop his skills in college before presenting himself to the NFL. There was talk of getting that degree, etc. May said the one exception to this was if the player's family needed the money. Then he could understand why a player would got to the NFL as soon as he could. Lou got a very grumpy look on his face and said "This might upset some people but it's not a young man's job to support his family. He's got to look out for himself." The more I thought about this, the more I was convinced that what Lou really meant is that a player's job is to stay in college and win games for his coach. [/QUOTE]
