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.
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").

That's cool if they do. I wasn't aware that this kind of program was offered. That would make the decision easier to leave early if you're not a top draft pick, but I still bet very few take advantage and come back. Hopefully he will.
