October 9, 201313 yr I take the opposite view for 2 reasons:1. Abandoning your college team still leaves a sour taste in the perception of a majority of the population, and I think injures your marketability for advertisers at the next level. Unpopular athletes don't get shoe/car/food contracts. When is the last time you saw Randy Moss or T.O. on TV for Subway? 2. I think we underestimate the value of the education/scholarship contract. I think in the grand scheme, if you sit out they revoke your scholly eventually, and 99% of NFL players need the purchasing power of that degree at some point in their careers.In the end, I think you are trading dollars for dollars, maybe not $1:$1, but its closer than perception dictates.
