I'm all about accountability. I had to make my decisions and live with them. If they choose to play football, they should take the salary offered and if it is unacceptable, go use your edu and be an accountant. I'd still play football myself. So I only make league minimum for 3 or 4 years becaue I'm not that good....... 1.5 mil. for 4 years is pretty good money. Better than ANYTHING you'll make at anythning else with a 4 year degree. |
I agree 100%. i'd love to play football for 4 years and make the minimum. If it was a for sure thing. The chance of injury is very high, so i understand when players try and get the most they can. Also, if you aren't in the league at least 3 or 4 years, you don't get any kind of pension or retirement or insurance. At least that's what it was with the old CBA.
