I’m sure they’re countless stories like yours, maybe not commodity traders, a lot of former college players take up coaching at the high school level.
I know of 8-10 for UF Gators who were stars in college that are not HS football coaches, all with college degrees.
Maybe in past this was true and in some cases it’s still true, but the majority of college athletes are not dumb jocks walking around campus who end up with debilitating injuries post college.
That was true in the past. But today, I doubt many of these players who go through 3-4 schools wind up a degree.
How many schools did Emory Jones end up going to after he left UF?
