Haskins has given me the idea that he's a bit of a different type of kids. School in his case isn't just a ticket to the NFL. He's more of a student who happens to be an athlete that excels in a sport than a guy who happens to be great at a sport who also happens to have to go to school. It wouldn't shock me if he's really struggling with the decision to stay or go.

It's cut and dried to all of us arm chair QBs who would kill just for 1 NFL paycheck, but it may not be to him.

EDIT: Holy English fail Batman!

It would shock me if he isn't agonizing over the decision, I believe that he is that kind of guy (i.e. an actual student-athlete).

If he decides to say (and I think he should) let's hope the school takes out a "generous" insurance policy for him (article dated 17 Aug 2016):

College football insurance policies are big -- but complex -- business

Sources revealed Wednesday that Clemson's Deshaun Watson has taken out two insurance policies against a career-ending injury: a $5 million total disability policy and a $5 million loss of value policy.

A rule of thumb is about $10,000 for every $1 million in coverage. Previously, the NCAA helped secure a loan for the premium, which would be paid by the player's family, but a couple of years ago, that changed when it was discovered that schools were allowed to take out the policies themselves.

Sources said that Clemson took out a policy for Watson through International Specialty Insurance, which has established itself as the leader in the space, especially when it comes to offering loss of value.

Why do schools pay?
This is now a good way for a school to keep a player who might be scared to return. In other words, the school is saying, if you hurt yourself, we've got your back.
