    A professional athlete is also going to command a higher figure, so that could be part of it as well. 

    Do I want to, or can I even afford to, pay Jeremy Lamb $50,000 when he makes $3M (and would be take that) or Trayce Jackson-Davis $2,500 when he makes $0?

    I'm just making numbers up, but the point is that the math is much different for everyone when comparing signing an NFL or NBA player to an endorsement versus a college player. 

    This 100%. It’s going to be much easier to persuade a college athlete to appear at an event than it is a professional athlete.

    Professionals are going to command much more $$$. College athletes, on the other hand, are going to be looking for any source of income they can get. 

    Just look at these college athletes’ social media pages. All of them are posting that they are open towards any sort of endorsement as a way to make money. Thus, it’s going to be much easier to get a college player to make an appearance at an event versus a professional athlete who’s already making millions.
