&lt;p&gt;Tim Abromaitis, the Notre Dame basketball star who was arrested along with Joe Montana&amp;rsquo;s son for underage drinking last year, is about to complete his MBA in May. He&amp;rsquo;s also an NBA hopeful: Sportswriter Paul M. Banks says he&amp;rsquo;s heard &amp;ldquo;firsthand from scouts who believe he could be a tremendous overseas player, and in midseason I read his name in the second rounds of NBA mock drafts. So if/when earns professional money from basketball, I&#39;m sure he&#39;ll be good at managing it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dlimm/folders/Jing/media/59ddd020-0b0b-481a-8ae1-70c4e30de61f/2011-03-28_1203.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;255&quot; height=&quot;356&quot;&gt;ro athletes are notorious for their lousy money-handling skills, almost like there&amp;rsquo;s some sort of race to penury. From &lt;em&gt;SI&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&amp;bull; By the time they have been retired for two years, 78% of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&amp;bull; Within five years of retirement, an estimated 60% of former NBA players are broke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a good thing, then, that Abromaitis took an interest in behavioral finance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;One class I particularly liked in undergrad was a behavioral finance class. It&#39;s kind of like a mix of psychology and finance and economics all thrown together, and it was a view of how people behave in finance and some of their irrational behaviors.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe Abromaitis can write a case study on what led Lenny Dykstra to go from stock-market tycoon and publishing mogul to a man who lives out of his car. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Chicago Now]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;[Photo Credit: AP/Seth Wenig]&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
