Thread: Who was advising our kids to leave early?

Did any of the EEs graduate? That scholarship money for UM ain't cheap.

""I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012," Luck said in a statement."

""Call him old school," Oliver Luck said. "He comes from a faction of people who believe you go to college to pursue your degree.""

"Luck consulted with the Colts' Peyton Manning and the Rams' Sam Bradford before making the decision, ESPN college football analyst Rodney Gilmore reported. Both quarterbacks made similar choices to stay in school."

Unless you know him or the family, then you have no right to question his character. Some people actually have some...

I'm not surprised to see you're having trouble reading. I'm the one who said this has nothing to do with character.

Miller and Vernon will stick around the NFL for a few years not just based on their talent but where they were drafted but what could be the real sad case here is the rest of the early departures who were drafted in the last 2 rounds and signed as free agents will most likely be out of football in months and most if not all don't yet have their degrees.These guys will be used as examples for the currrent players,especially if someone like Armstrong has a good SR season and gets drafted high.

Yep. Thus implying that his decision lacked character. If he returned to Stanford to get his degree, as he and his dad both claim, then character clearly played a part in the decision.

No. I said what I meant and I meant what I said. It had "nothing" to do with character one way or the other.
