California NCAA Athlete Looking Forward To Spending Endorsement Deal Money On Half Of Bio 101 Textbook
Energized by a new California law that will allow NCAA athletes to earn money from endorsements, Golden Bears running back Troy Layton told reporters for Cal’s student newspaper that he can’t wait to use his future income to pay for half of his assigned Bio 101 Textbook.
“Just a few more used car dealership commercials and half of this bad boy will be all mine,” said a giddy Layton as he clutched a second-hand copy of “Campbell Biology 11th Edition,” a luxury he never dreamt of one day being able to afford.
“An autograph signing here, a kid’s birthday party there – before long, I’ll have enough money to buy this entire textbook,” said the superstar running back who currently has the top-selling jersey in college football.
Layton, who is projected to be taken in the first round of next year’s NFL draft, said he’s excited to make the jump to being taken advantage of on the big stage.
