But remember that in the world of charitable giving, the people who are Jeff Green's age are the exceptions. Look at the wealthiest Marquette basketball alum. He has two kids, just got remarried, and is on the downside of his career. Most people his age aren't reflective enough to think back on what made a difference and to donate a significant amount.
And really how many Marquette alumni have gotten truly wealthy playing NBA basketball? Wade obviously with his $121M in career earnings. Wes Matthews at $25M. Steve Novak is at $12.4M. Anybody else earn 8 figures? Do you think either of the latter two are going to donate 5-10% of their career earnings at this point in their lives?
