He's still eligible for NCAA football though. Just not track. Think of all the kids who went and signed to play pro baseball and came back to college to play QB in their 20's.

Does track get paid as much as Football?

At that level, they get paid enough to not risk their health and travel the world, live abroad, etc. Some great life experiences come with it as well.

I’m expecting him to finish 3rd or 4th.

Has he finished any of his races below 1st place yet? I don’t even think he’s run a race at full speed to the finish line. The finals is going to be a different beast but I can see him finishing 2nd and pushing De Grasse if he goes all out.

Top ones do, plus their careers last longer.
Although football nowadays is more like hand touch so less chances of injuries.

What he’s done so far is already historic… he’s beating grown *** Olympic track athletes that trained for 4 years straight for this. Back when he was 13 years old not thinking about no **** Olympics smh lol but if he pulls this off, it would be the greatest accomplishment ever in sports history across all sports imo.. someone feel free to chime in if I’m missing another moment in sports that’s comparable.

Top guys make millions in endorsements and appearance fees….and they aren’t getting their bodies crippled up taking a pounding in football
IF he wins or even medals and decides to go to college the money he will sign for in endorsements will make the money the Bama QB is supposedly getting look like pocket change..

I think Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek (both beat him at the US Trials) are gonna nip him in the Finals. He is definitely capable of winning it all and that would be a huge historic moment like you say. He should be the man going forward if he locks in.
