Based on last year's salaries he'd be the 5th highest paid CB at $8,333,333.33/a year.

there's no way kelly clarkson can resist him now. welcome to the K-State family Kelly Clarkson!!

Krause has been on the phone with him already.

Salina, small-town country.
"It feels good to get a deal done and know that I can retire as a Cowboy," Newman told ESPN.com's Ed Werder. "The Joneses took a chance on a small-town country boy from Kansas and I haven't let them down. The best part is I get to stay in Dallas with the guys who I have bonded with, and we can do all that's in our power to go and get that Lombardi Trophy."

So how many dollars is that per Rivals Star?

You know, the disappointing thing is that T-New, who is one of my Top 5 all-time K-State players and the only one I have a picture of in my office, hasn't contributed jacksh-t of his millions to the athletic department. He keeps blowing off the major gifts guys when they try to have a meeting with him about how he could help the department out.
Let's not forget he was a walk-on who, if he had any other D-1 schollies, it was very few. Not only did K-State give him a shot, but they developed him into the college game's best defensive back, if not it's best defensive player. I think it's embarassing that he's not giving back more generously than he is.
-
Newman wasn't a walk on. He was stolen away from ku.
-
has he really donated nothing back to state?

If so, that is completely bogus.

I can't say whether he has donated "zero" or not, but I can tell you the major gifts people at K-State are very disappointed with his level of giving and it's very safe to say there has been zero major gifts. I mean, if you're signing a multi-year contract for $5 million plus endorsements, then anything you give at all ought to be in the major gifts territory. I don't think we need him as a Golden Cat....

What KSU pro has given back a lot? In either sport? I'm not saying there are none but I can't think of any. Few pros really give back, especially during their pro careers. I don't blame him for not making a major gift yet, his career was a pretty sweet gift. I think he will probably make a fairly generous gift at some point.

IDK, seems to me that if you or I won a $40 million lottery, Ernie Barrett would be on the phone to us about the time the Powerball bounced at the bottom the 2nd time. How do we justify anyone at all with far less money giving anything if the richest alumni we have don't give back?

I see it as they are young men, with only a few years to truly cash in on their abilities. Thus, they need time to stockpile money, get their finances straight for the rest of their life, and then figure out how much they can donate. If he donated say $5 million and then got injured in camp next week, that $5 million turns out to be a larger chunk of his finances then it was when he had expected the full $50 million.

Valid point if $22.5 million of it wasn't in guaranteed contracts which it is. Also, those guys are almost always looking for some tax shelters. Additionally, endorsements are easily $2-3 million extra/year, those would however, dry up if he got hurt. We're also forgetting about the approximately $13 million or whatever he made over the first 4 years of his rookie contract. That's about $35 million of guaranteed money without the millions he made in endorsements as a 29 year old. I mean, seriously, that's a lot of finances to have to get in order so that you could support the university that helped you start your career. I'm just sayin...

my stance is the dude's what? 28-30 years old? let him have some fun blowing his money and he can decide later if he wants to contribute or not. just b/c you're a high profile alumni doesn't mean you have to give money back. and we don't know if he's already contributing to other more worthy charities, etc. has Cartwright, Sproles, Lilja, Gramatica, Clary, etc. given huge donations? only reason this is a topic is b/c he just signed the deal and it comes at a perfect time when KSU is looking for lots of money. if i were him i'd be taking care of '1' and finish my career before even thinking about giving back. but that's me and i don't have lots 'o' cash.

Agree 100%. Give him time, he'll come around and KSU will probably be naming a building or press box after him some day! :thumbsup:

Thurman Thomas & Barry Sanders have both given large donations to OSU. :frown:

i agree that once he retires he will be more apt to giving back to the school, but i don't see why he hasn't really given anything at all yet. he has more than enough money floating around that he could send a 100k or 2 here. either way i don't blame him. i agree with chicagocat, his career was a pretty sweet gift.
-
When Kevin Lockett has crap named after him on campus, you know the giving has been poor and the excuses are bad. That said, is there a pattern of big donations from other athletes around the country? I honestly have no idea if we are an outlier or not. The only reason anyone cares about this, seems to me, is because we have so few big donors that star athletes comprise a disproportionate share of the potential loot for us.

that's funny.
