Up until now their have only been skirmishes between sides within the Republican party. Now, the war has begun.
I have been listening to a number of call in shows that have been flooded with talk about Brian Brohm's decision to come back for his senior season. Almost everyone seemed to think he should have gone pro instead of coming back. They all were citing the fact that he could be injured and out the millions he would have received coming out early. Most seemed to think that this was great for U of L, but bad for Brian. Personally, I think he decided to come back for his senior year because of the money and not from loyalty to the school.
Why? Because his draft stock is going to only go up next year. Now that Brohm comes back he vaults himself to the top of the quarterbacks in next year's draft. If he has a great year, he will end up a top 3 pick. That would secure him 30 - 50 million dollars instead of the 10 million he would have made this year. So you see he could very easily make "more" money by coming back for his senior season.
But what about the possibility of being injured? Minimal. He is a quarterback and not a running back. Quarterback's just don't get hit very often. On the other hand I understand why Bush left early, the chance of injury is much greater for him.
So I don't buy the "he did it for the school" routine. I think him and his family made the shrewd business decision by staying in school. And by doing so Brian gets the nice perk of having his status elevated to legendary in Louisville.
