ran for the BOT. I really think it would be in our best interest to have Carl be a regular contributor in some way to the program.
Now that NIL is out there and many of our athletes are likely to have at least a short stint in the NFL, I can't think of a more important time to get Carl Nassib back to PSU to educate our players. IMO Carl did it right. He went into the NFL with a modest contract and invested a large portion of that salary. Yes, he did get that coveted 2nd contract but he was prepared to be set for life with a very short NFL career.
Now you have some players pulling some NIL and already thinking they're rich. They don't know what they'll owe in taxes, if they might have a future injury that ends their career short of the NFL, and they have no idea how short the average NFL career is. More than ever, it would be an awesome advantage to bring back a guy like Carl who has lived it and managed his finances in a mature and prudent manner.
Any thoughts on this and how best to educate our players to maximize their opportunity financially?
