Wichita State basketball player wants to use career to help children in need | The Wichita Eagle

After Zach Brown graduates from Wichita State this spring, his goal is to make as much money as possible playing professional basketball.

He calls it his “Plan A,” and it sounds a lot like any other college basketball senior’s plan.

Unlike some of his peers, Brown isn’t concerned about his status or using the money to buy extravagant things. He needs the money from playing professionally so he can accomplish his No. 1 passion in life: helping others.

“If I don’t (make enough money), then I’m definitely going broke,” Brown said. “I know I wouldn’t be satisfied later in my life if I wasn’t doing something to help others less fortunate than myself.
