The college doesn't care if they can never play again after that game. And wont pay anything if that happens..  while the player can lose everything they have worked for up to that point.



Boss calls you and tells you they need to you to come in for  a special hazardous event that could end your career... But also your not getting paid...    Do you still go in?

That's not always true.  As much as I couldn't stand the guy, Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina administration held a position for Marcus Lattimore in case he wasn't drafted on the Gamecocks staff.  Marcus eventually came back to that very position, until the NCAA ruled that his work at his leadership academies through his foundation might give him an unfair recruiting advantage.  Even though Spurrier was gone, Will Muschamp honored the Gamecocks' commitment to him.  Marcus is now a high school HC.

Of course, Marcus Lattimore is one of the most stand up guys I've ever read about....one of the very few athletes I follow on Facebook.
