Because of the high volume of turnover on the lower end of the roster, the "average career" stat is driven down severely. There's a lot more guys who play a year or less than there are guys who play for 6 or more, which greatly skews the average.   And maybe they do come to some agreement, but at what point should the players themselves be responsible for the choices they made? At some point the player made a conscious decision to play football and pursue it as a career. This means they consciously chose to put their body at harm in order to play a game for some form of benefit. In this day and age of informational access, today's players have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing the risks involved in playing professional football. I don't see why the league or the schools need to be held financially responsible for the duration of a player's life because the player chose a career they know to be dangerous.</blockquote>
