2. It shows. See the Vikings. Result: Pros making high school mistakes.

Both on and off the field. Every high school catcher knows to tag the third out after a strike three just to be safe.

3. Huh? Wrong case of an athlete leaving school....

...I'm more worried about college kids leaving school early for the pros only to fail by not being drafted, not playing very long in the pros etc.

Wie is already famous as well and will not hurt financially.

4. the money isn't a problem

it's not like she was going to college anyway (you go to college to learn a trade, basically, she doesn't need it) what's a shame is that she's never won anything, it's a learned skill, and I wonder what will happen to her if she doesn't win in the first couple of years, burnout is a real possibility.
