Quarterback Matt Barkley will remain with USC for his senior season, bypassing a potential top-10 selection in April's NFL draft to chase a national championship with the Trojans.
When I first read this I thought "what an idiot". I still kind of think that, because my thinking is anytime you're going to be a first round pick you should leave school and take the money. School will always be there, the money can go away very fast. Yet, I do kind of understand his thinking. There is a lot of good QBs coming out in this draft. I am not totally sure what next years draft will look like, but maybe he is thinking he can cash in and go #1 next year. Plus, USC can go to a bowl next year, so he should get even more TV exposure. Then again, maybe USC just said they would pay him more...
