[Husker] Draft

[Kathy Jackson]

This is most likely a completely dumb observation but honestly I would be very leery of turning my 18 year old kid loose on his own with a pot of money that he could do whatever he wanted with.  I am just saying that as a parent a little more time to mature, get out of the house in a more controlled environment and some more education might not be such a bad thing.  Putting a kid in the position of thinking he owes it to his parents/family to take the money no matter what is really a bad thing unless the family is in dire straights - and some are.

I know there is a risk playing a sport - especially football in college, injury etc but I don't know how much that kind of thing plays into the thinking here.  I am pretty much clueless about the pressures surrounding a kid that is good enough at something to get a scholarship or play at a pro level so there is no doubt lots that I am not factoring in.  Just saying that I would be pretty tense about the whole thing as a parent.
