If the money is there for these kids they have to go.

I totally agree with this.

Look at it this way. He goes high in the draft, gets to play for 3 years at say 1.5 million per year, gets injured. He has 4.5 mil in the bank and he is still young enough to go back and finish college, get his degree and get a job. All while his money is growing interest.

He stays at OSU plays 2 more years, gets injured his junior year. All of that opportunity is gone. Yes he can still get his degree but will not have that nest egg to fall back on plus the life lessons he will have learned from playing pro ball.
