2.4 million wasn't enough? Obviously not enough for Nico and time will tell if he made a good choice. He had a contract with the collective and chose to break it. I hope the collective has the ability to sue him for failing to "live up" to the specifics of his deal.

I graduated a long time a go (1979) so when I was in school all the students (even athletes) had very little money and we all survived. We had beater cars, ate cheap pizzas, drank cheap beer but it created a strong bond among my friends that continues as many are still friends nearly 50 years later. These friendships really have a value more than money; something Nico will be missing out on.
