Wanna Win the Heisman? Be a Big 12 QB. Wanna Go To The NFL? Go to a MAC School

After a weekend tryout with the Chiefs, Jason White was told he's not ready for the NFL. This was a guy who stacked up more awards than HBO does during the Emmys. White won the Heisman in 2003, and then was a finalist the next year. And he can't get a job in the NFL. Heck, even the guy who sat the bench backing up Carson Palmer and Matt Leinert got drafted. But not the fella who won more than two dozen games for the Big 12 champs.

While White was being told maybe the Arena League would be good for him, outdoor teams were, once again, just fine taking another MAC QB. This year, it was Charlie Frye. If you look at the top 30 passers last year, you will not find a single QB from a Big 12 school. Heck, you'll find a guy putting up decent numbers from I-AA's Gatway Conference before a Texas or Oklahoma QB. But for the "mid-major" MAC schools, only the PAC-10 and Big 10 have more signal callers starting in the NFL right now.

What does that say about the state of the two conferences? What does it say for Texas's Vince Young, who some thought might make a decent passing prospect? And what does it say to the high school senior who wants to, one day, be an NFL QB? Go to Akron, son, not Oklahoma.

Woody!
