We have a statue of a guy that did it outside Lucas Oil Stadium. And he didn't have the cushion of being able to make millions as a college athlete.

Really? He had a financial cushion from his successful father, so he could play as a grad student and take a shot for a national title.

I dont know how they determine who gets what. A kid at IU basketball took his $50,000 at IU and payed off his sisters student debt. That amount is pittance compared to any major league sport. Are there NCAA athlete making $50 million.plus from nils?

No but Stroud is getting 7 figures & driving a Mercedes G SUV he didn't spend one penny for.

Manning is just an example I figured we all might be familiar with. For some reason. He wasn't the first or only guy to ever do it. Matt Leinart won the Heisman and probably would've been drafted #1 in 2005 but he went back to USC.

Rich dads or not... the point is that they passed on monster contracts (Manning got $48m in '98) to go back to school and couldn't make any money. So if a kid like Stroud is torn between going back to school or going to the NFL... the fact that he can make $2m-$4m for a couple of years could easily tip the scale.

That kid at IU basketball who made $50k is not CJ Stroud or Bryce Young or Caleb Williams. Those are the kinds of kids making millions + bonuses like cars as Dewey mentioned.

The car came from the booster club.
