Nothing against Mr. Robitaille, but what this shows is that there are
student-athletes who turn this into a cost-benefit analysis. At the end of
the season he had the opportunity to jump for a lot of money. He did.
After his injury he had the opportunity to continue to progress towards a
degree which will help him finanically after hockey. He did.
These are both perfectly reasonable decisions, and I think if I were in
Robitaille's position and at his age I would have followed the same course.
