I see you got downranked but it is true. After taxes, insurance, agent fees etc a couple million is not enough to set a family up for life. I might have 1 million in my retirement fund come retirement time and I realize that will barely be enough. I'm frankly scared it won't be nearly enough. A million just isn't what it used to be. There's also a reason why rookie camp has intense life skills and money management seminars. You can eat the $1.6M up fast in cars and homes.

But it will be enough for a nice soft landing when he has to retire from the NFL and give him time to find something else. It isn't family dynasty money.

WOW! You guys would hate being my child.Having said that, she has graduated with ZERO debt. I set her up for life with a paid education, the rest is up to her. We paid 100% for her first year, years two thru four if she wanted to eat and have a car she had to have a job to pay for it.

Work and responsibility never hurt anybody.

Hopefully all your wealth is being designated to USF upon your passing since you don't want to spoil your children ...

Relevance of MMs salary was the thread.  Should be stay or go was the topic.

I'm not getting the connection of his daughter's educational funding.  

Sorry GA, could be me.  I just don't follow the correlation between the two.

How could anyone question he made the right move? He had nothing else to learn from playing at usf. All that could have happened was an injury or a down season. 

 

He's in a great situation with indy. He will play immediately.

Exactly. He got drafted where the analysts said he would; and all of the further developing and miles on the tires he would of added at USF he will get paid to do in Indy. No guarantees with increasing his draft stock, but feel like the Colts got a STEAL! Get that bag!

And your approach to your daughter's education has what to do with MM's going pro or staying in school?  

 

Please see the bold type. If needed i will try to be more clear on my opinion.

I think Marlon Mack cares less about what we think than I do about how each of you prepare your children for the world.

The only people who care what we think on this board are recruits. They read TBP religiously and our posts are one of their top reasons we lose kids every year.

We're also the reason the Big 12 didn't expand. They were intrigued to add a program that had a message board thread with 1000 pages dedicated to expansion, until they realized 75% of it had nothing to do with expansion.
