<p>Since the original poster called out Cam Newton by name, I would like to point out that he remains a student at Auburn. He left early as the winner of the Heisman Trophy with a national championship in 2010. He was the number one draft choice for the NFL that year. Why would anyone expect a young man in that position to turn down the millions he could make? So here we are in 2013, Mr. Newton is quite successful in the NFL and as a product endorser. He also has spent his off time at Auburn working to complete his degree, because he wants to. Bo Jackson did the same thing, he worked on his degree during his off seasons (and as both a pro football and baseball player that was tough). It took him many years, but he got his degree. In both 2012 and 2013 an Auburn football player and graduate was a Rhodes Scholar nominee.</p>
