As founder Bill Priestley made a living becoming an NCAA Division I sportscaster, student-athletes have always been the kind of people he has worked with. Many times, he would run into student athletes that were at that insitituion just to play their sport and possibly get a degree. Many of these athletes would end their athletics careers and then go back to minimum wage jobs because they didn’t take advantage of what a college education could truly offer them. These are resources athletes and parents can use to maximize the opportunities student-athletes have in college so they can live their best lives after college.
