Endorsements

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has had endorsements with Papa John's, Nationwide, Sprint, DirecTV, MasterCard, Reebok, and Gatorade over his long career. These endorsements keep him one of the NFL's richest players. Andre Luck is sponsored by TD Ameritrade and Nike. He will appear in national ad campaigns and will probably sign a lot more endorsements because he is still a young star. Miguel Cabrera doesn't have many endorsement deals. He makes about 150,000 to 200,000 in endorsements, which is not a lot compared to other pro athletes. He does have an endorsement deal with Chrysler and Maltin Polar. Mike Trout has endorsement deals with subway, body armor, Nike, and J&J Snack Foods.

Amateur Sports

Divisions I, II, and III have different levels of athletics and academics. Division I has the most serious sports, followed by education. Division II doesn't offer as many full scholarships as Division I because they don't have as much money to spend on athletics. Division III's students are mainly focused on athletics and the practice and playing seasons are shortened so that the athletes have more time for their education.
