well lets see, you have a document written from position of power, with legal advice and understanding of all the numbers vs a 17 year old (assuming he isn't going to VA Tech) who may or maynot understand anything, with no legal support, chasing a dream and willing to do damn near anything to continue in the game...it might be toss up between NLI and MIBL - based on the above info you will never have anything close to fair document, plus there are supply and demand laws. Then you add in all the nonrevenue sports, the Title 9 regulations and you will never get a deal that is good for everyone.
Football players are just stupid, IMO
