[QUOTE="Architorture23, post: 149489, member: 889"] You have to play the odds. In actuality, the odds were that even with some bogus "college education" her son's likelihood of success probably wasn't all that great. For him, it might have actually been more likely that he be a successful pro football player than a successful businessman, or whatever. The NFL has, for all intents and purposes, forced people to go to college if they ever want to play professionally. So she was doing what she had to do. I don't really blame her. If was a mediocre or below student of lower-than-average intelligence, but a heck of a DLineman, I'd go to wherever I thought could get me paid in the League with as little a chance of me flunking out as possible.
