Chase Young out of the Draft

[Whatever]

School will always be there.  You only have so much time to play top level competitive football before your body gives out.  One more year in college is one less year of earning money in the NFL.  The only reason to stay in school is to to improve your draft stock so you can get a bigger rookie contract.  Young's draft stock can only go down.  It can't go up.  Lots of OSU fans want him to return, but they want him to return because it's best for OSU.

If I had to take money in violation of NCAA regulations because my family couldn't afford a plane ticket to fly my girlfriend to my bowl game, I would start taking the millions ASAP to help my family.  I wouldn't risk a catastrophic injury that will kill my rookie contract and potentially the longevity of my career.  Look at what happened to Tua.  Look at what happened to Jeffrey Simmons last year.  

He would actually get a better education if he finished his degree after his playing days were done and without the distraction of football, anyways.  Being generous, maybe one in twenty D1 football players really takes their studies seriously, anyways.
