[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 271684, member: 655"] Fine, you don't like my opinion don't respond to it. But here's the thing. And this is for others that say there is always time for academics. The time is now. If he waits until he is out of football to take the LSAT's it will be that much harder for him. Of course he didn't say that is what he was going to do. He said if he didn't have football that is what he would be doing. Nothing he said indicates he will attempt to take it in the future. I hope he does. If he studies now while everything he learned in college is still some what fresh in his mind the test will be easier to take. Do this, take him out of football for a moment and put him in some other job, say manager of a store. Would you be saying the same thing, Gee, as long as he can manage a store he can wait to continue his education? (The reason I used store manager is because they put in long hours during the week.) Many good players have studied while playing football, some have even gone to law school. It reminds me of the guys on Active duty in the Air Force saying, "When I get out I am going to college". Well why not while your in? They pay for most of it and you have the time. The point is once you get away from academics it is harder to go back to it. But since you won't read this it's a moot point. He says academics always comes first, except for now that he is playing professionally. Now football is apparently first. I hope him all the best and I hope he continues his education. I just believe that if you are going to do it, don't quit for anything if you don't have to. BTW, I would say the same to you or anyone else. Never quit school if you don't absolutely have to, it's too hard to get back to it if you are out to long. Don't evey stop working on your dreams and always have some type of skill that you can make money to pay the bills if need be. [/QUOTE]
