Totally disagree - it's not the NFL nor the Government nor anyone's need responsibility to get these guys to go back to school...

It is the individual's decision to better himself and the onus is on the individual to become an educated person...

Only through self-motivation will that player maximize the learning experience...

Bigger problem is many of these 'scholar-athletes' are not even doing their own coursework - some of that is even an institutional problem, but that is still the individual's responsibility...

Or you can hire someone to manage/invest your money if you make that much. I just wonder if some of these guys are getting good advice, letting friends/family manage their funds or just getting swindled by every one around them while they live the high life, .
