So this is a crowdfunding site where fans can donate money so that their favorite player will stay in school instead of going pro. Seems like a really cool idea that will not really work.

"If you wanted Marcus Mariota to stay in school for his senior year, you could give $20," said Shawn Fojtik, who dreamed up the site after finding out there wasn't a way for Chicago Bears fans to give Brian Urlacher the money he wanted to play a final season at the salary he desired. Fojtik said that when a fan commits a pledge to an athlete, that money is immediately taken out of the account. Eighty percent of the money will be held for that athlete if that athlete does choose to stay in school, 10 percent will be given to that athlete's teammates, and 10 percent will be earmarked for charity and scholarship funds. The money is given to the athlete when that athlete's eligibility expires. |
