Is High School necessary? It's not just football. It's better opportunities that exist elsewhere. H's an elite athlete but aren't there other endeavors where one can follow their dream? This guy would have wasted a year of his life staying in HS and the education establishment will fight against his right to go his own way. Offer the GED test to all 16 year-olds. Shit-14!

Now that NCAA players can get paid, this will be a trend. Get on that money train earlier!

Yup. Skip high school.

Here’s my modest proposal for education reform.

We have been discussing ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda and other idiocies:

I'm also not an advocate of all children going to high school. I'm thinking 8th grade is fine for most people - hell, most high school graduates are functionally at the 8th grade level anyhow.

Reading, writing and arithmetic are the basic skills that everybody needs. Unless they are pursuing a profession (such as medicine, law, engineering), high school is not necessary.

People going into the trades (i.e. construction, carpentry, plumbing, electricians, etc.) should be apprenticing instead of wasting four years in high school. Young women that want to be housewives and mothers should be home with their families, learning how to cook, care for infants and run the household finances.

I'm dead serious by the way.

I must say that I am happy for the young man. He looks like a very prototypical QB. 6’3” at 18. Might grow a couple more inches during his college years.

Kid only has to complete one on-line course to finish up high school.

Also, isn’t this the kid that already has a million bucks in endorsements etc coming in? From what I understand he couldn’t accept any money if he played another year of high school football. No downside to completing one course, getting his H.S. diploma and collecting a million bucks at the same time.

Y’all need to check out bad ass high school quarterback Arch Manning, grandson of Archie Manning of the new Orleans Saints. He’s being sought out by all the major colleges and the NFL teams are keeping an eye on him too, especially the Saints.

Athletes should be able to profit from name, image and likeness. Good for Mr. Ewers. That said NIL will remove the facade of amateurism college sports. Unfortunately that will increase the competitive gaps beteeen the haves and have nots in college football.

My college girlfriend hated high school so much she forged her parents name on the GED application and passed the test before she told them. They sent her to college when she was 16. Not only good looking but she was smart as a whip.
