He can get about $5m in insurance for about $28k a season.
Regardless. The impetus to be the first to graduate from college in a family that has had little chance to attend is more powerful than the motivation of money. It comes down to happiness, what would make him more happier: getting that diploma or having a huge paycheck? There's a reason why folks say money doesn't buy happiness.
I'm speaking from personal experience sorta, my oldest brother was the first to graduate college in our family. You guys have to remember that until 1963, black people couldn't attend the University of Alabama. My dad was one of the first blacks to enroll at UA, but he was never able to finish due to family and military obligations.

And who says he will be a Top 10 pick? Ingram won the Heisman and was drafted #28.

Why the downvote? Jeeze for us to want him to come back is selfish and ridiculous. I want what's best for him, not Bama or myself. If he worked in the real world for a couple of years where you have bust your butt to make a living, he would know what is best. Saban wont let him make a dumb mistake by coming back. As a side note, most people forget or don't know that Andrew Luck's parents are extremely well off- therefore his decision was easier to make. I just want what's best for trent who busted his tail for the university I love and laid it all on the line every game. RTR
