But there is something really wrong these days the way professional athletes can make mega millions and yet be in the poor house. Exactly what did they learn while collecting their college degrees?

Happens all the time and not just in sports either. It runs rampant in all areas of life where a person is an expert in one area, but doesn't have a clue in another so they turn over the management of their money to somebody else. It doesn't take long to go from being a millionaire to broke if somebody else in "managing" your money.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnay 0 #4 September 16, 2011 Rich people blow their cash all the time. Who gives a fuck, it's not your money. But just out of curiosity what makes you single out this guy? and what makes you bring up welfare and food stamps? hmmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,673 #5 September 16, 2011 Quote Exactly what did they learn while collecting their college degrees? Student athlete is an oxymoron in college football and basketball. These are pro sports masquerading as amateur. The college athletics coaches make way more than the college president in most cases. Stupid, and exploitative of the players.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NFL tries to provide the best product they can that will make them the most money. Playing football well and good money management are not requirements in the NFL. The NCAA also does not give a crap about a players education, just the revenue that player can generate for the school. The real surprise is the number of players that manage to hang on to their money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
