In response to Handy's post here, I submit the true story of Florida State safety Myron Rolle. A consensus top 50 pick in this years draft, the FSU graduate has decided to forgo entry into the NFL draft, and subsequent millions in salary and signing bonuses to attend Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship.

You may remember that Rolle skipped the first half of an important ACC tilt at Maryland to attend his Rhodes' interview in Alabama. Pretty awesome that he puts his academics ahead of football at two very important turns. And it is not as though he's doing unimportant things in the classroom, either. He's participated in cancer studies as an undergrad and will head to Oxford after finishing his pre-med degree in two and a half years, while maintaining a 3.75 gpa, and a high level of play on the field.

Finally some positive news in a sports world seemingly gone insane.
