Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4603973, member: 2117"] A lot of people (rightfully so) talk about money being a motivating factor, but I think this is one of the major reasons why players like Boston, Clark, Reese and Bueckers are likely to stay 5 years in college. They all get rockstar treatment at their respective universities, and that level of adoration goes out the window once you're a pro and likely completely disappears overseas. I think the tide has turned now that NIL allows players to make solid money while still in college, and the allure of going pro doesn't carry the same weight as it did a few years ago. If I'm in Boston's shoes and the options are either: 1. Go pro and play in Indiana for 4 months, then overseas, make great money from playing 2. Play in Columbia a 5th year for Dawn in front of 13,000+ crowds, chase potentially a 3rd straight title while working a masters (and still making solid money via NIL) It's a no brainer I'd pick option 2 over 1.
