The times are certainly changing in the college sports world.
As recently as 5 to 10 years ago, most college athletes could barely afford a nice steakhouse dinner. Now, thousands of college athletes are making hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per year, driving around in six-figure cars and rocking luxury jewelry.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day recently opened up about his own car purchase and how it should be a lesson to everyone. Day appeared on the " Andy and Ari " show Aug. 7, and revealed that his son, R.J. Day, convinced him to buy a Mercedes AMG sports car.
"And quite honestly, this is the truth, I bought it and I drive it, not even so much that I like it but because it can really go really fast," Coach Day said in the interview.
"I tell the guys, one of the things that we have to understand and one of the biggest issues that we have right now with young people is driving really fast," Day continued. "And I tell them I have an AMG, I could floor that thing and rip down the highway, but I don't. And that's discipline."
