I think he saw himself as possibly falling to the #3 QB in this draft

while I agree..... he could also win a Heisman and a national championship, while being at USC in LA, so is the only difference the legal money?

I've been trying to find the new guaranteed money slots for each first round pick. Unsuccessful. Does anyone have this information? I don't think Barkley going back is that crazy.

He didn't want to take the pay cut.

Isn't he on pace to grauduate in 2012 because he enrolled early? So he would just be a full time QB with no classes and bang blonde coeds all day after football practice? Why not stay another year?

This. But Billick just made the point I wanted numbers for on B and R. Financially, this could make sense. It's possible he could fall pretty far in the first round. Next year, he may be the number one pick. You could be talking about roughly eighteen million dollars guaranteed. Again, I don't know the exact new numbers. He'll take insurance out as well, just like Luck did. Don't think it's crazy.

Not a chance he would fall out of the top ten this year.

I hear they now have hooors in NFL cities...and you don't have to see them around campus

If the money is no big difference, I would think it would be better to be drafted a little later by a team with players rather than the typical team that drafts early.

Right now, I would say he goes to Washington. But he probably heard something. I don't think this is school pride.
