If Miller was my kid I would have talked him into going to Stanford.
Agree....It only takes one hit to toast a NFL calibre players playing career. Part of making it to the NFL requires a certain amount of luck avoiding injuries, regardless of your playing talent, or toughness...At the point where an athlete has to go back to the life of mere mortals, the Diploma that hangs on your wall, or the resume you provide at time of employment, means everything in todays business world where you will find 4-yr degree Grads working at most Barney's Lube and Tunes...
The "utility" player from Missoula as so termed by her B-Ball coach in a recent article, chose the Cardinal over the Griz. If your kid is adept to making the grades.....this is a no-brainer decision.
:twocents: Fair or not, Stanfords credentials win hands down, when it comes down to the monetary $tuff....
Some time ago I was walking by the area Foot Locker Store and ran into a local kid who had played on the O-line for the Broncos in the late 90's...We went in the back to catch up on his life. There proudly displayed on the wall was his BSU Diploma ....... Life after football
Oh the Glory days...
