Yeah. There's a guy, that reports on the Dbacks, that I follow on twitter. I was really disappointed when I read that several months back.,
Honestly:
Charles Austin- wins an Olympic medal, has a very successful business, street on campus named after him. $$$ - nope
(son has no desire to attend TXST, either)
Ricky Sanders - part of the Redskins posse - back in the day. Son went elsewhere, daughter graduated TXST in 2013. $$$ - never heard of any.
Big Fred Evans - not a star but 8 years in the NFL - anything???
He just resigned for 1 mil.
(FWIW - his sister won a bronze medal in bobsled at Sochi)
Jeff Foster - 13 NBA seasons. Came back and got his degree. Had his # retired. Shows up for a lot of events but, big $$$$? Not that I'm aware.
There's a bunch more but these were on the top of my head.
If any of these guys had given big time I would bet we'd have heard about it; one way or another.
