[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 34264, member: 944"] If by "on occasion" you mean once in a blue moon like when Ross did it, then we agree. Comparisons to Dodd's days are meaningless. In those days, kids who were eager to succeed in life and rake tons of money felt the best educational degree was the way to go because NFL salaries were ridiculously low. In the 1950's, most NFL players had to have part time jobs on top of their NFL jobs to make ends meet. Nowadays, with the fabulous $$ in the NFL, kids feel the best way to success and tons of dough is to go pro, and forget the education. That one huge change has changed forever the abilities of the Vandy's Northwestern's, Georgia Tech, even the Notre Dames to really consistently compete with the semi-pro programs of the SEC and Big XII.
