Ok let's assume that he gives up half to his agent, additional expenses
and for taxes. That's probably excessive but lets go with that. That
leaves 125,000US. Let's further assume that

Let's be realistic here instead of throwing all kinds
of numbers around. First off,
I think Webb would have been better off to stay in college, but people are blowing
this decision way out of proportion. As far as I have heard he is still going to be
getting an education and he will likely be running in some of the same meets he would
have at Michigan. It really boils down t
I agree with you. And, I hope his decision takes him right to his goals. It is great
that we are
able to have this debate at all in the U.S. There are a lot of great young U.S.
distance runners
coming up. I think this issue will be revisited a few times over the next several
years. I hope good
I worry about Webb going pro now not over any questions of money nor even
educational opportunity - he's an adult now and can judge those things for
himself. My concern is that he not harm his development by rushing to jump
to a higher level of the sport when he has not yet mastered his curren
I said -
"one more year of college running would have done wonders for his development - above
as well as below his
shoulders"
- no where did I slam any educational institution! I was not implying anything about
GMU. If he can get one
more year of college running at GMU, fine. I think one more
Yep!!! that's a fair projection in the running market. It's just a totally
different market in comparison to b-ball or other huge revenue sports.

Because you were implying that GMU would not be able to do as good a job above the
shoulders. Maybe that
is true. Is there any empirical evidence in whatever field he was in at UM and
whatever he is in at GMU?
Somebody must have the answer to that question given how many conclusions are being

The major difference between Webb, Woods, and Bryant is that Woods was
guaranteed millions in sponsorships the day he quit college whether he
panned out or not. Same for Kobe, plus several million in signing bonuses
from the Lakers. I'll take a guess and say that Webb's sponsorship is well
