Bottom line, a lot players have families that are struggling. It is very hard when the coach is making more money than the POTUS but your mom is about to get evicted out of her shack. It is even harder if your 1,000 miles away from home and you can't even afford a bus ticket to see your family and friends. Why do you think some players end up doing dumb shite? They often feel helpless. I'm not saying pay the players or pay their families (although some schools were smart enough to hire star athletes families) but some of these guys do need help as do many students.


I don't blame these kids for taking the money. Most of these kids grew up in poor families. They see a way to take care of that family.

It's actually sad. This kid made OM millions and yet he got a free college education, and a fast track to millions of dollars.

Fixed it for you. I make my company millions of dollars, but I don't have the luxury to text my boss and ask him to pay my mom's electricity bill.

If it was his stepfather, Tunsil should hire a hitman with that first round pick money to make the inevitable 30 for 30 epic.
