i know that there are organizations that provide business education to professional athletes. it seems to be too little however, given the stories/anecdotes you hear.
i'd go so far as to suggest that all pro athletes should be offered a mini-mba program of business courses as rookies: statistics, economics, marketing, accounting, finance, and strategy (and possibly financial valuation, operations and organizational behavior too). that way, they'd have the basic tools to evaluate the investment opportunities that will inevitably seek them out.
