Keep in mind that last summer Luck said he was going to get a degree before going to the NFL.

Mid-season he changed his tune to, "I'll decide after the season is over."

Harbaugh says Luck is ready to go into the NFL and Lucks' dad indicates that Harbaugh leaving would push Luck into the draft.

I think these mid-season articles are more indicative of what's going on rather thatn "Standford sources" quoted days before the Orange bowl. I read in these quotes that Harbaugh is already thinking about leaving and that Luck will go if that happens.

IDK how anyone can forego a contract worth tens of millions of dollars to go back to school and take classes. It just wouldn't make sense to me unless Stanford has a legit shot at winning the national championship. One thing is for sure...I can't wait for Feb. 13th (rookie declaration deadline??) to roll around.

Because not everybody cares about money. And if he is as good as most people think....guess what? The money will be there. The players that chase money seem to be busts.

Its not "all about the money" if he chooses to go. Its about making the smart choice. I graduated from college a year ago and as much as I loved being there and pursuing academics...If I had the talent I'd go play football and so would you if you were presented with the choice.

The money won't be there necessarily. Jake Locker was staring at least 20-30million in the face last year and now he will be lucky if he's a first round choice. Matt Leinart a few years ago went from the guaranteed #1 pick to the #10 pick. Its not all about the money and no matter what he's going to make a lot of money...but it is about making the smart life choice and I can pretty much guarantee you that Andrew Luck will not be using an Architectural Engineering degree anytime soon.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      The Carolina Huddle

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
