This Just In---Andrew Luck To Stay At Stanford

The good news is we don't have to worry about the Redskins giving up this years first and next years second to move up to get him. Personally I like his decision mostly as an educator I think its wrong that these men get a free education and then get to leave the university early if they want. I wish the NCAA would come out and require anyone who does to repay back their scholarships to the University.

Good for Luck. He'll still make the money down the road whether in football or due to his Stanford degree. He's a smart kid, he knows about the rookie salary cap, I'm sure he'll sign a short contract and then redo it. Trust me, he'll make some ca$h!!

This is so wrong.

Football players give body and soul to the university which makes millions of dollars from their labor. So departing football players leaving early certainly don't owe their U. a dime, if anything, the NCAA should mandate some sort of compensation while they are active and in school.

Wow, he's going to lose out on a lot of $$

You can always finish up school later, gotta cash in while you can.

Not to mention the chance of injury

Rumor has it Harbaugh is staying...

Harbaugh staying is good common sense. He is a god there, has a system/program in place that is very solid. I can see Jim leaving once he licks Oregon and gets into the Rose Bowl or Title game.

The guy from Missouri will probably be the first QB taken now. Newton is a wild card but I doubt he will go first overall, rather the Panthers will take another year and try to find out what they have in Clausen while drafting a replacement along the D-Line for Peppers. My guess is they have a toss up between DaQuan Bowers (DE Clemson) and Nick Fairley (DT Auburn).

Locker is a late first round pick. Ironically Mallet might be a second round pick now, which is kind of sad considering the main cause of that drop was his performance late in the Sugar Bowl.


Mallet got screwed over by his receiving corp. He should have had another passing TD if his wideouts knew how to catch. Posey for OSU really went down in my future draft rankings also. Kid needs to get it together. Too many drops in the Sugar Bowl as well. Mallet was pissed after that game.

I have only watched Locker a handful of times, and like JC Snead I don't get the infatuation. Sure there is raw talent there, but Lockers passes in the bowl game weren't very crisp. That being said , he does seem to have a decent head on his shoulders, but he still throws INTS.

The Standford Architectural school and his scholarship are not going anywhere. If he is as good a student as people say, he can finish up his degree during the NFL off season. Easy.
The window for a big guaranteed rookie contract is small.
The life span of a football player is also small. You can only take so many hits and so many snaps.
Ask a player like Herschel Walker who needlessly left his most productive years and physical ability in Georgia. Where nobody really notices or cares. By the time he got to the NFL his body was already on it's down side.
$50 million guaranteed goes a long way, even if he fails as a player. He could give up his scholarship and pay for the tuition himself if he wanted to, to finish his degree.


Maybe the guy actually is more than one dimensional and wants to earn his degree ASAP. Maybe he loves it at Stanford enough to want to stay there for his full term there. Also, he might have thought about the lockout possibility. Either way it is his decision to make. He is going to make big money anyway, maybe he just isn't so greedy.

People hated on LeBron for leaving Cleveland. They hate on Luck for staying. Only in America

Everyone who says Luck is stupid for not taking the guaranteed money is the exact reason why this sport pays out the ass for unproven talent at the NFL level. I am so happy they are putting in a rookie cap. The amount of money these guys make makes me sick. I wish I could make a tenth of what they make.
