[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 949955, member: 6459"] The NBAPA has done work in recent years to buff up the pension plan for retired players - including for previously retired players. I think structural things like that would go a long way, but nobody with any influence in the college game is incentivized to push for it. Deferred income would go a long way to avoid the traps of large-but-short-term-windfalls. You could also do things like more scholarship and associated financial cost guarantees even if you don't finish initially, or don't live up to coaches' expectations, or even if you transfer (I don't think it would be bad to make programs more careful with giving out scholarship offers to players they don't intend to play much, and it would reduce the cost associated with making a bad decision there for the players, which seems like a overall good tradeoff). EDIT: these are also things that would be easy to structure in ways that help with continuity and competitive balance, too. Incentivize sticking around by giving more lifetime benefits for 2 or 3 or 4 year stints. Add some carrot to things instead of just the traditional stick of "don't do that or you lose eligibility."
