The kid just articulated (in a not so grammatically correct manner) the thoughts of many  college football players across the country.

The only difference between him and his peers is that he voiced his opinion.

I believe that every school playing at the top level of college football has at least a player or two who would prefer to skip the "going to class" part of the equation.

The notion of tsk tsk, I'm glad that we don't have any guys like that on our team is rather ludicrous.

Heck, I remember one Stanford athlete who left to the pro's early stating that he wasn't interested in school. 

There is no shame in that.  It is a reality that we should accept even if we don't like it. 

It all boils down hoping that athletes from our Alma Mater keep their mouths shut...
