You are probably right that short term thinking would get the batter of analyzing the data and fighting for contractual stipulations that have the long-term interests of the membership in mind...but clearly whatever they are doing now in terms of counseling etc is not good enough.  And it makes the leagues look exploitative and makes the unions look like they aren't doing a very good job.   Sure these guys are adults and can do what they want...but when you have a large number of athletes falling into the same situation something should be done to correct it.  Professional athletes are unique in that you quite often have someone coming from no money to having an overwhelming amount of money when they are still young.  Now I know some 20-something investment bankers who have had $800k years - but those guys have the knowledge to deal with it.   there is just really no comparison and no excuse for this happening to so many of these guys, something needs to change.
