Sports Math Can Give You an Ice Cream Headache

If Andrew Luck had entered the NFL draft, he was a sure #1 pick and destined to make about $50 million. But he wanted to finish his degree, in Architectural Design.  At least he'll have something to fall back on.  First-year architects make about $50,000 a year.  Someone get Lloyds of London on the phone.

Have to admire Luck for following his heart.   He's a tremendous college football player, a good student, and by all accounts a well-rounded person.  Hope he stays healthy.  Can't see how he would damage his draft stock, as he is as solid an NFL prospect as anyone who's come along since John Elway.   But the new collective bargaining agreement could slash millions off his potential deal.
