He is just voicing the opinion of a fair amount of college football players. We would all like to think,"Hey, he has the opportunity to get a great education for free!", but the truth is that they are too stupid to earn a degree or do not have the foresight.

No, he actually is considered a grey shirt, he had to go to prep school because his grades were so low. He will likely never see action at Ohio State, Miller has a couple years left, and we have the top QB in Texas TJ Barrett coming in next year. Cardale is a very gifted athlete, but he is very dumb. Also he was redshirted this season, he doesn't have a chance at getting in.

i hope life goes well for him

I found college pointless and I was on the Deans list many times. Academically anyway, it was a waste of time.

The pay for these kids is a LOT more than their education. These guys get five years of the best coaching on the planet and years of auditions for jobs that pay millions. The education, stipends, etc. are just gravy.
