Is Clowney really considering sitting out this year?

That would be great for us. Or is this something espn has made up?

I thought he was going to win the Heisman this year.

I don't think SC would want to bother hiding his academics if he's not playing football.

or it could be a clever excuse for him not being eligible to play.

don't think so. Don't they have to make academic progress?

another year there just means more hours to make a minimum GPA. That's a lot taller house of cards. Why bother if he's not even playing. Much easier to fudge things along until he goes nfl or is tragically injured in 3 yrs.
Or maybe it's so bad, he'll sit out a year, and then go nfl, like that running back at Ohio St, Maurice Clarett

If he sits this year, why would he come back at all?

He's a first round draft pick now and would be gone if eligible.

Right, if he sits, he won't be back. That's the one certain.***

That would be crushing for USC, why would he sit?

I haven't followed this at all. Is it injury or academics?

Injury could hurt his NFL stock...

and might mean he would come back for his Senior year. Academics, in his case, have never mattered to his NFL potential.

He signs with a agent and gets a advance. Of course I'm sure USuC is paying him well.
He can take the money and train without as much of a risk of injury and still be the top or a top 5 pick.
Don't think it will happen. If so though I would LMAO!

If he did that and it worked, it would change the game...

and might destroy it.
It would do what the "one and done" players in college have done to that game.

He played 2010 and 2011 seasons. Skipped 2012 for voluntary and involuntary reasons.

of idea - it's just too sweet to not think about. I dont care whether he plays or not, but the idea of that happening is just too funny. Who dreamed this up, anyway?
