Simple solution, make players start signing 1-3 year contracts and treating it like the professional sports model it is.

Yes, that is the idea I proposed in another thread.

Not that I expect even a fraction of these guys to do it. But if you can make 1-2 million while in college, get your degree and put between 500k to 1 million away in a Roth IRA or 401K. You could probably retire in your 40's or 50's and likely have zero debt.

And just for the heck of it. A Roth IRA with $500k at age 22, would net you close to $4 million by age 50 if you get a 7% return and don't contribute any additional money. Most IRA's currently average between a 7-10% return currently.

That has to be from Rev share not including NIL.
