College success will not drive more marketing demand, NFL success will. Same with NFL demand, the only impact that would have would be his health. The results of a consensus(and this may be debatable at this point) top 10 pick returning to school are typically not the best. It's one less year of an already short average career that you didn't spend adjusting and adapting to the NFL.

The insurance policies for someone like Tua would be in the low seven figure range(typically) and collecting on those policies can be challenging, much like any large insurance claim.  Banking on an insurance policy is a poor substitute for a guaranteed contract that a first round draft pick receives. McCaffery, as a #8 overall pick ended up banking $17,241,304 from his fully guaranteed contract as a #8 overall draft pick. Those figures typically rise each year and with the spot taken. So, again, why would you pass on that kind of opportunity? Even with tax implications that kind of money should allow you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. 

If Tua decides to return, that is his prerogative, but it would not make it any less of a foolish decision.

   Wow. But it’s about what i  expected. 
 

  I’m an Auburn fan and I think Derek Brown is crazy for playing today.

I can understand the decision either way on a bowl game. For me personally, I wouldn't be playing in the Outback Bowl. Really not that much to gain even if you do win but these kids are competitors too, so they probably want that last college experience. 

Definitely hope they stay healthy.

   I respect his decision, but if it’s my son I would strongly suggest sitting out. I’m really only talking the 1st round locks(maybe 20-25 players)

  After that you could probably help your stock a little. 
 

   Just can’t get Jaylon Smith out of my mind. And watching Joey Boss get himself kicked out because he wanted off that field immediately.

Or the economy crash or a meteor strike.  

That's irrelevant to Tua unlike reinjuring himself...but hey it made you feel better
