No, but he's risking millions of dollars by staying just one more year. He just is; it's fact.He is not staying in school forever.

Exactly, everybody who is calling him a moron need to get the facts straight. The new CBA is going to change the rookie pay scale one way or another starting THIS year. His family has money, he gets his full education and gets to live the "big man on campus" life for another year and then cash in next year regardless. That's sounds like a pretty good life plan to me.
Yep.
He really isn't risking as much as you make it sound. You guys are over exaggerating for effect. Like I said barring some catastrophic death or disease the kid is gonna be fine.
How so? You think everything will be inked BEFORE the draft? Because typically, the 1st pick is signed prior to the end of April.
Everything I've heard is that it's going to drag out through the offseason, into the preseason and possibly the regular season. Contracts inked before the new deal should not be voided.
Thanks, Captain Obvious. Haha, he is willing to take the risk. Good job.
Maybe the kid just likes college and doesn't really care about money -- he knows he's going to make some one way or another, as a football player or as a [fill in the blank]. If I were him I probably would've done the same thing. My family doesn't need the money. I'm going to go back and enjoy college and be the king of the hill for as long as I can before I have to go into the real world and accept responsibility.
But the fact is he's rolling the dice-no matter what the odds. He's not taking the sure thing.
I like Luck, I wish him well. I hope he IS the #1 pick next year (actually, I hope he falls to whatever pick the Cards have, but you get the point). I just think he should take the money while it's on the table.
Well there goes his shot at breaking Brett's consecutive streak.
Yep.
Really? get a Captain Obvious title when the post before you said this?...

You just can't handle being on the illogical side of a discussion two days in a row.
Maybe not. He could declare and undeclare a few more times between now and next week and break the waffle record.
I had a smiley face. :iwin:Really? get a Captain Obvious title when the post before you said this?...

Luck would not be able to sign a contract now, in March, April, June, July, doesn't matter.
Players drafted this year cannot sign a contract until the new CBA is negotiated.
All the draft does this year is give you the players rights until the point comes you can give them a contract.
I know not what of what you speak, pepper pooper.Really? get a Captain Obvious title when the post before you said this?...

Who the heck really knows... But, my perspective is that the new CBA might not get done prior to the draft, but will be done prior to the point where player contract negotiations are either started or completed...

Moronic decision based off of the CBA in place. New CBA, who knows.....
His parents are well off. He doesn't exactly need his degree to get far in life. He could potentially lose out on 10's of millions of dollars by not declaring.
What does he have to gain by not declaring now? A national title is about the only thing I can see.
The risk/reward in this scenario is heaving weighted in the risk category. He can always go back to school once his career is over.

Luck is STUPID!
Sam Bradford got $78,000,000 for a 6 year deal with $50,000,000 guaranteed.
Luck would get $82,000,000 for a 6 year deal with around $55,000,000 guaranteed.
Luck said he wants his architects degree. That'll net him around $28,000 per year...in those same 6 years he may net $180,000.
He IS the #1 pick this year....who knows next year with a new offense and a new coach, NFL rookie wage scale. Jim H KNOWS you strike while the iron is hot...and he's as good as gone.
If Andrew was my son I'd kick his *** and tell him...you are going into the NFL now or never. You don't pass up the glory, fame and $ that comes with being the #1 pick.
He will automatic get to be the starter for 2 years...no one looking over his shoulder.
If he waits - injury and problems exist.
It's beyond dumb for him to wait....ask Matt Leinart. He would NOT be sitting #3 had he come out the year earlier. He would have been GIVEN 2 years as the starter with no competition + a ton of $.
Luck and his family are being beyond dumb.
I wouldn't be shocked to see him change his mind after Jim H signs.
If he comes out now HE CAN'T LOSE!
