you guys are too busy arguing trying to be right you don't even stop and look at whats acutually being argued.

You're just wrong. The average 17-21 year old is changing their minds all the time because at that point there's little or no downside or repercussions. The average 30-45 year old isn't because they usually have family and a career and obligations. That's just a fact and common sense which you seem to lack.

Amen brother - to pull out or chance it? Always changed my mind on that one when I was 17-21.

and that age range of 22-29 you left out?
ps 19-45 is not 18
you guys keep changing the narrative.
ive made it to 39 with a good job comfortable life for me and mine, money in the bank for now and later so i guess my common sense is doing ok.

fwiw, about 1/3 of all kids who enter school for a degree change their major at least once. At least according to one study that followed all kids entering both 2 year and 4 year programs in 2011/2012. 52% of math majors change, go figure.

Hence why college is a scam nowadays and 99% of 4 and 5 star recruits in basketball or football would have their applications tossed in the garbage bin if it weren’t for sports. And that is why I don’t give 2 shits about them complaining about getting paid. Richard Sherman would’ve been a Cal whatever Tech graduate had he not been able to semi play football and Stanford was worse than Oregon State is now.

Iman Marshall was a big disappointment considering his talent. The guy was not able to cover receivers and was really bad when the ball was in the air. I'm guessing he got that many broken up because other teams threw to the guy he was covering more than anyone else and the ball hit him when he wasn't looking. The Washington DBs were coached up much better. Iman should have been playing safety because he was big and physical and could play facing the QB.

From all accounts Richard Sherman could have gotten into Stanford as a student without football. I agree that the majority of football players wouldn't have gotten into the school solely based on their academics but then you have to also figure out they spent a lot of their time playing and practicing that I'm sure it's not easy to do both at a high level(for most people)

Was going to post almost the exact same thing, but then I saw yours.
