He's got a point, it's just that, under the current setup, you have to be a student to play.

There are two kinds of college football players. Those who are there to play football, and those who are there to be students and play football. Cardale clearly is the former, as are untold numbers of D1 athletes. You can't blame them. They have a gift, they intend to make football their career, and they want to get on with the business of playing football.

It would be like me having to spend 15-30 hours per week running around the track at school when I'm really just there to get my degree. But if I don't run around the track, I don't get to go to class, don't get to have that diploma. I see his point... it's just that the world isn't set up this way.

That's cool and all, just don't go to Twitter and make yourself look like a fool.

I cannot believe a 20 year old college kid doesn't want to go to class. Nebraska is coming to town for a big game and his prof expects him to be in Drawing 200? What is this world coming to? :shake:
