Now, This Guy Really Is Out of Control

If you are a highly touted college football player today, and you are contemplating leaving school early for the NFL, please think twice. Might Maurice Clarett have benefited by staying at Ohio State? Maybe not for his football abilities, but surely for his personal growth. Gentlemen, get that degree!

The real mistake Maurice Clarett made was not going to either Miami or USC. The way their programs are run he would have been a four-year starter with a free condo on the beach, full medicine cabinet and midnight curfew at the Playboy mansion.
