That happens to most in high school as well. And to quite a few in jr. high. Do you think they should skip out if offered a pro contract?

Those ex-pro athletes went broke because they had poor money management skills. You don't need to go to college to learn how to handle money, correct? Again, I'm not saying you can't learn that in college....but it doesn't have to be learned there.
Are people more likely to learn how to handle their business in college?
And whether they learn anything in getting a degree or not, the piece of paper will help them when and if they do blow all their money. That's probably a more important factor for those who were too lazy and privileged in the first place to learn anything while they were in college.
