TODAY’S TRIVIA: I hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend!

San Francisco QB Brock Purdy and Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton have both been in the news this week. Haliburton has been a big story throughout the NBA playoffs with his late-game heroics, and Purdy for his shiny new contract.

Purdy signed a five-year, $265M contract last week, which might be one of the biggest pay raises of all time, considering his entire rookie contract was worth $3.74M.

To put that in perspective, he will make roughly 3 times as much per game (~$3.1M) next season as his former annual base salary ($934,252).

Did you know that the two knew each other while attending the same university?

Where did Haliburton and Purdy go to school?
