lypator Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Did someone say he is getting a Liberal Arts Degree? Why should he stay in school and get a useless degree. He should have taken advantage of his free education and got something useful, especially since he will never make it as a pro quarterback. Don?t get me wrong he is a great athlete, but have you all heard of Cordell Stewart, Akili Smith (spelling), etc?.Good luck Bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 There is really no reason for VY to risk injury in the college ranks. He'll definitely go top five, so there is no pressing need to stay in college at this point. He can finish his coursework either during or after his pro career.He has a lot to risk staying in college. His degree can wait, his football career can't. That's all fine and good until he has a career ending injury in his first or second year or he's a draft bust and never takes off in the pro's and is left with nothing to fall back on. Sometimes I think people just need to look at the bigger picture. He'll be getting guarenteed millions of dollars up front, plus money from possible endorsement deals. I think he can live comfortably on a few million dollars, and find time to finish his degree in the process...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 After what he did, I don't think Vince Young would have any trouble going back and getting his degree. Even if he piddled away his $20M signing bonus and flopped in the NFL, I'm sure UT would welcome him back and allow him to finish. And I'd bet that while finishing, he didn't pick up a tab in any Austin restaurant. He cemented his immortality this week, and he'll be fine. Hell - before he blows all that dough he could endow the Vince Young Scholarship for People Named Vince Young, then nominate himself for it if he doesn't cut it in the pros.Or, since I do adhere to the school of thought that college can be the best 4 years of your life, and that you should be able to be young and have fun before going off to your job (even if your job is playing a game), he could do what Leinart did and take out an insurance policy on himself. If he has a catastrophic injury while in college, he'd be covered. And he'd have his degree. Next year could be his last year to just be another kid in college, albeit a supremely gifted one. Why not enjoy your last year of not being a full-blown adult and be a college senior? Full adulthood can wait, he can insure himself now and be ready for the '07 draft. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

winters in buffalo Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 If he's looking at $15 million, he doesn't need to further his education beyond this post:Take all the money, bank it, live only off the interest. Even an idiot could get a return of at least a half-million a year for the rest of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
