Should Robert Meachem go pro? Point and counterpoint

Robert, you should stay in school, get a degree, and hang out with Ainge in Orange for another year.  Plus, this year there are lots of receivers who, while not better than you, get a lot more notariaty (Calvin Johnson, Jeff Smardjzaiafgusdguirga [the Notre Dame guy], Ted Ginn, Dwayne Jarrett, HELL, even Sidney Rice).  The point is, stay.  ONE MORE YEAR!  ONE MORE YEAR!

If you do decide to leave, I understand, you are great, and you proved it this year.  Plus, I'm sure at the combines you would blow everyone away, Mel Kiper would love you, and you'd be a first rounder.

Best of luck with your decision!

Point (in a totally selfish kind of way): WE NEED YOU!!  You've given so much to the Tennessee program and have yet to earn that elsusive SEC Championship ring; let alone any bling resulting from a victory in a certain MNC game.  Yeah, your single season receiving yards is quite a feat in the UT record books; congrats on that.  But wouldn't you like to be a multi-record holder?  Single season TD receipts? Most yards/game? Most cathces/game? Numerous others?  Despite your progress from '04-'06, you'd be even more valuable to the NFL with another years worth of development.  Please stay...I'm not asking...I'M BEGGING!

Counterpoint: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MON-EY....MON-EY!!!  You've got skills son, go get what you're worth and don't risk a 'multimillion dollar injury' in your last year with the Vols.  Your degree can be finished up at a later date and will be just as valuable.
