Clarett Loses In Court One More Time

[sportscurmudgeon]

SkinsnCanes:

I wonder about all the scholarships Clarett could get these days. In order for him to go to another D-1A school, he'd have to sit out a year and that assumes that the NCAA would reinstate his eligibility based on no academic performance in the last year or so. That's not going to fit into his plans; he will be in next year's NFL draft no matter what.

He could go to D-1A except that many of those schools don't give scholarships. I'm not meaning to slight Clarett, but frankly, I don't see him passing the asmission standards to get into a school in the Ivy League or one of the military academies.

He could probably go to a school in the MEAC for a year and not have to sit out and he could certainly go to a D-III school but they tend not to give athletic scholarships.

Here is what I find sad in all of this. Clarett listened to people who blew in his ear telling him that he should sue the NFL to get in the draft and that he'd win his case and be a mortal lock as a high draft pick. And none of them advised him to keep open some escape route just in case all of this did not work out exactly the way they told him it would work out.

If Montreal has his CFL rights, I hope he took French 101 at Ohio State...
