It would be gratifying to see pro athletes who garner huge paychecks endowing athletic scholarships for their university.

I believe the school hands out the maximum number of scholarships in every sport thanks to the profit it brings in from basketball and football.

How about:
It would be nice to see pro athletes who garner huge paychecks endowing ACADEMIC scholarships for the university.

aguacate, I'm pretty sure that seeral DO endow scholarships; I am positive Troy Aikman does and there have to be others.

Was playing Black Jack in Vegas and MJD joined the table. One of the most humble and down to earth guys you can meet. Even as a millionaire he was playing $20 hands and got really jacked when he won or lost. Even invited a bunch of nobodies like myself and buddies to come party w/ him as special guests. Really happy for the guy! He deserves it b/c of his actions on and off the field!!!

Aguacate,

Look in the back of any FB program and there you will find dozens of Grant in Aid donors, one of which, as Alex said is Troy Aikman.

hmm, would I rather have a Heisman like Bush or a standout pro career like MJD? For some reason, I think I'd rather be MJD right now. Bush will be lucky to get half of this next time he's up...
