There are obviously some very wealthy people on this board. Why, $11,000,000 won't even buy a decent yacht, let alone an 8 passenger Lear. Hell, after paying for Dawkins' buyout you'd be hard pressed to keep a decent roof over your head. On the other hand, you would guarantee yourself a (small) place in the next edition of The Color of Life Is Red, so there's that. But, with the one or two concussions suffered each quarter you played football for Stanford, your life will be short, so figure a 10% annual draw down on your remaining nest egg, pitiful as it may be. And, if things go against the odds medically, there's always GoFundMe as the Stanford season rushing record holder. Oh, wait. . . .
