Colt McCoy staying for another year...

[Rockinacoustic]

He's only 12 credits away from a degree, and can only up his value by developing for another year. The Kid's smart.

Athletes who don't finish school should get their scholarships revoked, just like the rest of us would. College athletics is enough of a corrupt, tax dollar wasting joke, even without the abysmal graduation statistics.

Actually, schools should get their wins revoked if any of the players in any of the games don't graduate. Otherwise it's not really college football is it? If you win with a guy who's not really a student, you are cheating, plain and simple.

Enough with spending MY taxes on free training for the NFL.

Last I saw, he was projected at a second-round guy.

clearly you've heard wrong.

texas's athletics department runs in the black without taxpayer subsidy. other than the football kids mostly coming from texas public highschools, that is.

texas is one of the few that can say that, though.

i'm really amazed that people say 'wow, the NFL makes all this money.' it better be making money hand over fist with the amount of subsidy it gets. 100s of millions of dollars for stadiums each team, the minor league system is almost all public universities, even rick wagoner couldn't screw that up.

Clearly, I haven't. Did a Google after I wrote this, and as recently as last month, he was projected as a "high second rounder".

That's not a person who needs to make that "should I stay for my Sr year" decision.
