Pro Football Seen As Fast Lane To Business Success
Hall of Fame star Gordon Soltau, former Minnesota end with the San Francisco Forty-Niners, argues pro football offers the fastest stepping stone to post‑college business success. He notes debt relief, about $1,000 monthly for months after graduation, and credits football for his steel sales career. Soltau cites pro clubs’ higher spirits, older players, and deeper team strength as advantages over college play. He also shares his wartime Frog Men fame and athletic versatility at Minnesota, plus a near accident while skiing that led him to swimming instead.
