Respectfully, the problem is way bigger than football or sports. There is little done in high school or college to teach students about the real world. Unless you are a business major, you have near zero clue about the financial world. Its not even a question about intelligence....ever talked to a doctor or lawyer about finances?

This isn't a university or NCAA issue. If anyone should be helping, it is the NFL/NBA providing a list of approved wealth management options that are regular employees, for regular firms with no family connection and who don't even have "startups" "get in early" or "have this idea" in their vocabulary.

Also, you either know to save and delay gratification or you don't, and that lesson likely comes before you are 18. If you are a 5 star athlete walking into a sea of cleat chasers, agents and uncles it is too late.

Once again another story of someone with lots of money walking away with next to nothing. These stories are sickening...

Ex-NFL player explains how he ended up blowing a chunk of his $20 million

Funny how the two of the most outspoken ex canes who dog UM and Golden are the ones who have little control over their own finances and ability to not get caught punching women and getting caught with hookers. (Sapp, Buchanon)

Coming from the guy who beats off to teenage boys getting involved with legal issues. Lulz

The NFL does try to educate
