Way to go, Jake!

One more year!

Ya beat me to it. I say good choice Jake!

Yeehaw!!!

beat me to it too

it's going to be a fun season with practically the entire team returning next year

Wow. That is pretty cool, not only is it a great choice, now we don't have to hear about it every day on the sports radio stations. We can hear about the Seahawks vaunted punting game.

Good move on his part...

Good news.Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

It's not gonna matter.....They'll be improved for sure and may finish near the top of the Pac 10, but near the top will be as close as they get.

Anyone wanna put early money on the Ducks v Huskies game next year in Eugene? I hear Oregon's returning a pretty good QB and RB as well.....

Good for him -- I think there's a good chance he'll have a happier life by making this choice, but it's hard to know of course...

I wonder (hope?) if it's possible and NCAA legal to get a comprehensive insurance policy on his physical well-being for the next year (insuring his considerable ability to secure some ~$20M in guaranteed money). It seems like it's in *everyone's* best interest to insure kids in this situation (parents, kids, NFL teams, and even the insurers who make a buck), but still I wonder how the premium payments would work, and what they'd run.

IR,

I think I recall that Lloyd's of London does issue just that kind of policy for athletes with bonafide offers.

Sg

brian- tebow, mccoy, and bradford all had that insurance, but i don't think it was 20 mil worth...something more around the 3-5 mil range

Was there an offer? What was it worth. With an offer and without INS you would be a fool to stay. Always One play away from being a nobody. He should be offering bonuses to his O line if he makes it without injuries next year.

What do you know, they do this ALL the way right it seems (rare for the NCAA)

* You get to pay the premium AFTER you get drafted
* The NCAA apparently is one of the providers

All good, and keeps kids in school. Wow. This seems to be the right system, I wonder how that happened?

so what if he get's hurt, he'll still have a degree and better job than a coog

so where does that put the cooooger then? the part-time evening janitor?

School is for pussies.

This proves that Jake Locker is suffering from brain damage. Too many hits to the head.

Cool.

Paul Wolff coming back too.

Good on him; I think it shows a lot of character on his part. If he wanted a pro deal, he could have had one long ago in baseball. I think they should really start promoting the H word.

And all you Coog fans who disagree can get bent. If there was a player good enough to be an H candidate go to WSU, I'd sure get behind him...if only that were possible.

No doubt $ is not the end all but stupid IMO...I mean cmon, going back to help the UW go 7-5 and to the Burrito Bowl in El Paso??

I just picture Burfict laying the wood to him, putting him on IR and then fighting for a late first round slot in 2011 with a limited rookie salary pool...not worth giving up 45 million guaranteed.
