The Big Problem of Big Salaries

It seems in recent years pro football players have been grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons. From Michael Vick and Pacman Jones to, most recently Aaron Hernandez, it seems that super stardom and all that comes with it is not enough to keep these talented athletes out of trouble. Perhaps the real problem is the fame, but more so the money. For many NFL rookies the sudden influx of cash is both tempting and overwhelming, they are human after all. It is estimated that 78% of NFL players go bankrupt or flat broke.
