This new age of college football is hard for me to wrap my head around. When I was at UT the football players got free room, meals, tuition and complimentary tickets from the university. There were probably some $100 handshakes from alums here and there, but nobody was negotiating a bigger payday with the school. I'm all for these guys getting some money for what they do, but walking away from a mid-six figure payday is just crazy imo. Doesn't a degree from the U. of Texas mean anything to them? I guess I'm getting old.
