Regular young guy here... I'm 24. I'm someone offered me $100,000 a year, much less $250,000, JUST TO RUN I'm hump that piggie for all it's worth. Who gives a flying fat ass about college running. He won't earn 6 figures in college running. He can still carry on his education while making fat bank and getting his royal ass kicked in Europe while Nike shells out 6 figures. Talk half, invest it, hope you don't completely bomb so Nike will renew the contract. It doesn't matter how fast Webb runs. As long as he's getting exposure and putting his face and personality out there Nike will be happy. Bonus if he runs fast. There have been lots of "personalities" in the US track and field world who have earned more Nike-like money and exposure while not being the fastest or most consistant in their event. I won't name names.
