I wonder if this will cause some problems with the girlfriend's family.

In the fifth year, she'll receive $48,000. From then on, she'll be given $52,000 per year each year until she turns 18 or 23, depending on whether she goes to college.

Interesting that it was in the CBA... so it's for active players. What about the guys who kill themselves because of the traumatic brain damage from playing? Junior Seau comes to mind...

Not if they're decent human beings. Normal people work out what's best for the child.

Although it sounds like there's money involved so anything could happen, I suppose.
