Other tidbits the study found
The study also found that the University of Alabama has the most active NFL players at 68 players. However, due to the sheer number of players, the average earning per player is only $15,942,341.
LSU is second with 59 active NFL players.
It is important to note that this study only looked at the average earnings per player, and does not take into account other factors such as the cost of attendance or graduation rates.
