I had a quick skim through the paper; but I may have missed the breakdowns by sport.
It would be interesting to see the statistics for sports that pay extremely well (NFL, Soccer, etc) compared to the Tier-2 sports (Volleyball, Track and Field, etc).
Tier-2 athletes have always had to juggle the prospect of never earning enough money with their sport and hence have had to focus on education too.
It's not surprising that after sporting careers the skills of being at the top of your sport (ambition, adversity, etc) transfer to Business and Finance.
