College Sports Story That Doesn't Make Me Throw Up

Andrew Luck, probable first pick in the NFL, decides to stay at Stanford to complete his degree in Architectural Design. (via New York Times)

Maybe it's the Asian upbringing, but any story about a student choosing education over sports, even if he is going to be an NFL star, works for me. His standing as QB for one of the best teams in the country is no big deal at Stanford.  He's just another talented student. You know why? Because it's STANFORD.

I was surprised how many columns criticized Luck for staying in school. They question Luck for passing up millions at risk of injury or suspect he has a strategic reason for staying in school. Few of his critics believe he actually likes architecture. I can understand the skepticism. Architectural Design is the major you pick if you want to slide through college. I bet there are tons of football players majoring in architectural design in the SEC. There is a word for these critics.

Losers.
