Darn shame that Darvin
wasnt drafted. We all know he left early because he has a family but another year obviously would have been smart.
I wouldn't worry...guys on ITAT already predict he will have a much better career than Julio.
All kidding aside it seems if he needed to support a family the more sure way would have been to stay at au and get his degree to use to get a "real job" in case football doesn't work out. Odds are he will be out of football with no degree in the next two to three years (unless he has already graduated in which case please ignore this entire paragraph). I don't think some of these guys understand how much that free education they are getting is worth.

Well, what kind of a job can you get with a Sociology degree anyways........

Auburn has a program for former players that come back to campus to finish their degrees. And I believe that tuition for this program is fully paid by the athletic department.
I'm pretty sure bama and pretty much every other SEC school has similar programs. Programs like this are good not only for PR purposes for the school ("former Player X returns and earns degree!"), but for recruiting purposes as well ("no matter what the future holds, son, you can always earn your degree").
