I keep trying to find excuses to read Lords of the Realm again so that's probably my A choice, but the Yonamine book is pretty high on my reading list too.

In addition to everything else leo and Groucho already said, just like in football, the NCAA allows disability insurance to protect high dollar value players from severe injury or loss of skill while playing in college. And Cole's family is well off to begin with.

Kundus posted:I concede! I used a bad example! Matt Harrington is the typical cautionary tale, but that's a really weird case because it wasn't an issue of "turned down" per se as "team and player disagreed on what they agreed to," and because there was an agreement that at one point he agreed, he ended up in indy ball instead of college and it all went to hell. Nearly all of the players who have turned down big money have gotten similar or more money by going into a future draft cycle. A few exceptions I can think of: the aforementioned Whitson turned down $2.1m, got hurt in college, and ended up signing for $100k. Alan Horne turned down $1.6m from the Indians, got hurt in college, and ended up signing for $300k. I don't know whether either of them were insured for loss of value.
