Hartford teams with NCAA to help athletes financially
Jeff Otis majored in economics at Columbia University, was a star quarterback
for the football team and has a contract to play professional football.
But until recently, Otis' game plan didn't include his financial future.
It's a common problem on campuses and one that the NCAA, working with the
Hartford Financial Services Group Inc., is trying to change. Using a booklet
developed by the Hartford, "Playbook for Life," the two groups recently
launched a program to help student athletes understand basic financial-planning and money-management concepts.
