Scott M. is the only NFL guy we have that is really assured of even being employed 1 month from now. As a rookie draft pick and with his versatility he's pretty much a lock for the roster. None of the other NFL guys we have are roster locks as of right now.
Even if they do make the roster none of our NFL guys will be making more than 200k a year. Sure that's much better money than I make, but its not the kind of money that's going to allow somebody to make an overwhelmingly large donation to the U.
I would imagine that our NFL guys, as of right now, are not among the top 5% of wealthiest BG alums in the working world right now. There have to be a lot of former business majors, etc, who are making far more than what our fringe NFL players are making.
Just because they were athletes at BG they should not be expected to foot the bill for athletic department spending.
