Too true, but an education may make one a better person, and better able to handle wealth with fewer problems. It reminds me of my college days at Carolina, when Dean Smith accepted his very first junior transfer, Bob McAdoo. Then McAdoo jumped hardship to the NBA after one year in Chapel Hill. Coach Smith made the GM of the Buffalo Braves add a clause to the contract where McAdoo would receive a cash bonus if he returned to school for a degree.

Did it succeed? No, but at least Coach tried. Maybe if others tried also, all sports would be more rewarding on levels other than mere fandom.
