No reason to denigrate "that one guy", who went to Indiana. That guy graduated from the Gies College of Business (a top 10 public business program) in three years, and is engaged an Illini volleyball player.

That dude wasn't messing around. Definitely takes being an EDG to get all that done while contributing to an Elite 8 basketball team.

Sure, he transferred after graduating, but so did Ty...

I'll choose to think the OP meant Eric Damn Gordon (IYKWTI).

Injury issues aside, Ty Rodgers has had it pretty good. He’s earned a degree from the University of Illinois and has (presumably) earned and kept a nice chunk of NIL money along the way. Obviously he’d like to have a nice, long basketball career, but if that turns out not to be in the cards, at the very least he’s set up nicely for a future off the court in whatever he pursues.

This is really tough pill to swallow. Ty isn't the first ball player to be mired in the quicksand of a really bad injury, that reoccurs and reoccurs again, and he definitely won't be the last. I'm hoping that whatever doors outside of basketball that he wants to go through open up for him, because he's sure due some better fortune (I was about to say a break, but stopped myself, LOL).

It certainly sucks…and I’m sad for him; because he was a special dude.

But all things being relative, he DID have better fortunes than Hutch; for example.
