<p>Granted he is a 5th year Senior, but his schedule is a little light this semester at USC. He is taking Ballroom dancing, that is it! This guy is living the dream college year right now. I cannot blame him for returning to college for another year. For one, he gets another year in LA, now a virtual celebrity. For two, he gets to be around all these college girls all the time with nothing else to do. And for three, he has a chance to be a two time Heisman winner, along with a 3rd national title. How cool is this guy's life, with a probable record contract awaiting him in the NFL next year.</p>
<p>um what's the big deal?</p>
<p>^^ i was wonerig the same thing...im assuming some football player who apparently is a bmoc (big man on campus, fyi) at that school</p>
<p>*wondering</p>
<p>are you guys serious? He's the qb from USC, heisman winner, two national championships and they're gonna be even better this year.</p>
<p>I don't watch football (the las time i saw a game was when ohio state won the nationals which was what, 3, 4 years ago?) so that explains a lot :p</p>
<p>first of all, he's an idiot for not going pro and coming back for another year... his stock can only go down (he would have been the #1 pick in this years draft).</p>
<p>agreed with UMrunner...He should have put his name in for the draft. Top pick and guaranteed $$$$ out the wazoo.</p>
<p>The guy's an idiot. A million things can happen to him this year. He can be injured. He might suck. His weaknesses might be exposed. He might do drugs, steroids, who the hell knows. </p>
<p>You never turn down number one pick and guaranteed money for an uncertain future.</p>
<p>He took a big risk coming back this year. If he doesn't perform, he could slip out of the #1 spot, or even the first round! Worse, he could be injured and never play football again, essentially costing him millions of dollars.</p>
<p>And not to mention he is damn cute.</p>
<p>what a dumbass</p>
<p>He's taking a calculated risk. You can't blame a guy for wanting to stay in school in order to become possibly the best college football player in the history of the game.(and a third nat'l championship- hes a winner, it shows his dedication to the team)</p>
<p>If Leinart has a year anywhere close to last year, he will win 3 straight Championships and 2 straight Hiesmans. He will probably be the greatest QB in the history of college football. Plus, he didn't want to go to the combine with a hurt elbow. It's pretty easy for me to understand why he wanted to stay. To him, all of this was worth a lot more than the money that he would've got.</p>
<p>Elitism: no one really cares what you did in college after you go pro. To be called "the greatest college QB of all time" is nothing compared to being the QB of a championship winning team in the NFL. By staying in college he's unneccisarily risking injury. Also, he would have been the #1 pick in the draft even if he didn't go to the combines. his elbow injury was really a moot point. I think he stayed because his teammates and coaches talked him into it.</p>
<p>think the guys smarter than that…in the end, anyone would trade places w/this guy</p>
<p>speak for yourself, i would never trade places with him</p>
<p>who cares about some stupid college football player? he's not at school to get an education, so he should just leave.</p>
<p>krtrumpet182...</p>
<p>How do you know this? Who says he doesn't want a college education? Why are you discriminating against him because he's a gifted athlete?</p>
<p>If you had the opportunity to play the game you love (and are good at), go to school for free, and then make millions of dollars after graduation would you not do it? Most college football players don't ever go to the NFL, they rely on their degrees to make their livings. Even the ones that do go to the pros usually complete their degrees either before or after their playing days are over. Don't be so ignorant or jealous because gifted athletes are given an opportunity to excel both on the field and in the classroom.</p>
<p>I know he's only taking one class in the fall, but you all realize that before that point he had done all the other required work to earn himself a degree in Sociology.</p>
