Basic money management can be taught by current staff at any university. Why would you pay the "franchise feee" to Dave Ramsey for this knowledge? Good move by State to educate the athletes but bad news to go "out of house" to accomplish it.

I guarantee that the cost of the Ramsey course is cheaper then you would ever get through any current university staff.

Cheese, you and I both know the answer to that. This is the kind of state funded handed out by pols that the general public misses because they don't think about it and say to themselves (just like you did) "hey wait a minute, can't a trained on staff Ph.D do this better than Ramsey?"

Politics and state money.

First of all, it isn't expensive. Second, I went through the course a few months ago with my wife, and watching Dave Ramsey on a DVD was a heck of a lot more entertaining than any live college professor I ever had. The guy has a great delivery and is able to get his message across to a wide range of people, whether you really start out interested in the program or not.
