Some people get to have it all

Greg Paulus is just a blessed man.

If you haven't heard about what he is doing, here is a summary. He was the Gatorade National Player of the year in football as a senior, as well as a top rated point guard.

He spurned football to get a free education at Duke as their starting point guard for 3 of his 4 years. He finished his eligiblity at Duke and has one year remaining in another sport as he never redshirted. So, now he is going to get half of his Master's degree paid for at one of the top Communications graduation programs in the country at Syracuse.

Most likely that Paulus will not be a professional athlete. He may light the world on fire as a QB at Syracuse and get some tryouts. However, just for the sake of argument, let's say he is a decent QB who enjoys a year playing football and gets that master's degree.

He will be in his early 20's, with a nationally known name and sterling reputation, a degree from Duke, and a Master's degree from a top rated communications graduate school. He is going to be living off the fat of the land for the rest of his days.

This young man made some choices that lovers of athletics have questioned over the years, but it would appear that he had a method to his madness.

I hate the Blue Devils, but they don't recruit dummies.
