How many recent college grads show up in a new city with $100K in hand, plus a job that pays $80K net?

my understanding is that the only thing he's got until he makes the roster is the $117k(roughly 80k net,) now, I would take a check for $80k from you, and that probably looks huge to him, but a one time coupe of 80 grand will not go very far these days, you've got to take the tortoise/hare approach, you're right in that most recent college grads are not grossing $80k, but, assuming he doesn't make the roster, or something catastrophic happens to prevent him from playing, the recent college grad will blow by that $80k in just a few years, and never look back
