Maybe, but I think that some of these kids' best chance to get a degree is the fact that they have an athletic scholorship and some sort of school-sponsored guidance. While they may have the chance to go back to college later, they will have to motivate themselves, assuming that they already dealt with the demise of their NFL careers. I think the majority of these kids would not make it through school without the athletics.
