He won't be rolling in cash, but how many runners are? He is one up on typical college runners who get school paid for but aren't pocketing money for their efforts. If he lives frugally while going to college, he can under up graduating with a decent savings account while his peer runners are graduating college, maybe debt free, and faced with the pressure of trying to run and pay for it for the first time.
If he is smart, he studies something he can do remotely, perhaps IT or software stuff, and do that on the side while still running.
You people are completely CRAZY if you think Drew or his family would have thought it was worth going pro for 60K a year plus tuition. You have no idea how hard it was for him to give up competing for Oregon- being part of a great team, with a great tradition, and a great coach he really liked. Not that Tinman hasn't done a good job with his training this past year, but there is no easy way to recreate that whole college team environment going forward. Hopefully Drew will create or find a situation that works for him and meets those needs as well, maybe in a professional group somewhere.

One exception to that: runner girls. There are certain college girls that I wonder if they have entered puberty yet.
That said, the late-bloomers can still become top runners as open athletes (Mary Decker being a major case),
Mary was no late-bloomer.
LOL I saw that too. MD was a senior international at, what, 14?
MC needs to get rid of that muffin top. Why doesn't she just use the same slim juice that mo, rupp and froome are on?

I'm also confused by the teenagers on here talking like 50k per year is an amazing amount of money or that they'd buy a bunch of houses with 500k.

That's a long time to be using complement instead of compliment.
