Players leaving before they receive degrees can always return to get them, at their own expense or the schools'. Guessing that those who care about it have that base covered. For those that don't, it's a non-issue.

And you also said that the school or NCAA would pay for it. That's hardly a given on a commodity disability policy.
Not sure why people second guess the decisions that these young men and their loved ones make regarding moving on the the NFL. It's laughable that "fans" try and use their own standards and decision methods to second guess the critical decisions made by young men and their families. Yep, that's part of message boards. But it is a very stupid look.....
But quoting the NFL CYA/Cover-It's-A$$ PR is about the stupidest argument in this thread. The NFL's "concern" is about PR and their relationship with college football, and maintaining the current college football feeder system. Nothing more. Just a pure business stance.

They are the ones who have chosen to become professional athletes. Being second guessed is just part of their life now
..and the "other" Iowa TE Hockenson is ranked ahead of Fant in many mock drafts (Hockenson round 1-2, and Fant round 2-3)
with that time, the question may be where does he play in the NFL? QB? WR? Kick returner?
Just talking about Trace on ABC during QB drills. Talked about how impressive he was during the interviews and how good a leader / teammate he is.
(Strange to see him in throwing drills dropping back from “under center”.)
Apparently he was asked to participate in defensive back drills yesterday, he declined.

QUARTERBACK TRACE MCSORLEY REFUSES TO WORK OUT WITH DEFENSIVE BACKS AT NFL COMBINE
3:02 PM 03/02/2019 | SPORTS
David Hookstead | Reporter
Trace McSorley isn’t interested in changing positions.
The superstar college quarterback was asked to work out with the defensive backs at the combine Saturday and refused to do so, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. (RELATED: Read Penn State QB Trace McSorley‘s Emotional Goodbye Letter After Finishing His College Career)

Penn State QB Trace McSorley was asked at the NFL’s scouting combine to also work out with the defensive backs on Monday but he declined, saying he is concentrating on being a quarterback as he heads into next month’s draft, sources tell @Jeff_Legwold and me.
Why would NFL teams want McSorley to potentially become a defensive back? That young man was born to be a gunslinger.
He tore it up for Penn State during his days in college. The dual-threat quarterback has been one of the most exciting players in the game these past couple years.
McSorley is simply a dominating presence on the field.
Will the PSU legend be successful in the NFL? I have no idea. Nobody does until he actually gets a shot. That’s the way it works.
What I do know for sure is that he’s a quarterback, and he’s damn sure not a DB.
I hope like hell McSorley tears it up at the next level. He was a ton of fun to watch in college, and there’s a chance he does the same in the NFL.

QUARTERBACK DWAYNE HASKINS RUNS 5.04 40 AT THE NFL COMBINE

Dwayne Haskins didn’t run an impressive 40 at the combine Saturday.
Haskins, who lit it up this past season at Ohio State, ran his 40-yard dash in 5.04 seconds. For comparison, Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold all ran much more impressive 40s during their time at the NFL combine.

Dwayne Haskins, more of a runner than a passer (@stephenasmith), just ran a 5.04 in the 40. #NFLCombine
I’m sure Stephen A. Smith sure wishes he could take back his claim that former OSU star is more of a runner than passer. It turns out that Haskins can’t really run at all.
I don’t want to brag here, but I’m pretty confident in my athletic prime (about seven years ago), I could have smoked Haskins in a race. To be clear, I was never that fast, but him running a 40 in over five seconds isn’t a great look.
The good news for Haskins is that he doesn’t really need to rely on his feet too much. The man has a howitzer attached to his body in the form of his right arm.
His arm is the reason he’s almost certainly going to be drafted in the top 10. The team that takes him won’t do it so that he can run around all over the place. They want him spinning the rock like he did for the Buckeyes.
It’ll just be fun watching Haskins play in the NFL, even if he does have the speed of a turtle.

Just reflecting, but good chance Trace would have been PSU's best safety the last couple years.
He did have some nice tackles from the QB position, but I don't usually highlight that as I am a huge Trace QB fan.
Kevin Givens just ran 4.87 after running 5.09 in the first one
Tied w Q Williams of Alabama but he weighs 300+
Williams ran his second st 4.84

Givens had the same 10 yard split as Von Miller. Pretty nice time for him.
Plus, he also put up 32 reps on the bench. PSU crushing the drills at combine again! If we can add a few wins this season, recruiting is going to be off the charts!
Seriously, why not do a 35-second Google search? Yeah, he’s playing professionally.
Bates was a senior this year, and should have his degree. does a 5th year as a grad student benefit him? if he would be a low pick of UDFA, then getting a year of grad school toward his future real life may be beneficial. as for NFL FB, not sure he would move much with another year at PSU. there is a difference for guys going out as Juniors (only 3 years at PSU).
