Message: [QUOTE="Greedo, post: 4043397, member: 9992"] For a lot of these kids basketball is their ticket to a good school. So they make 100k for a couple of years, then what? They can’t live off of that forever. Then their basketball career is potentially just over and they’re an average joe going to a community college. So there’s that option vs going to UConn or Michigan or UVA or wherever and getting a strong degree with a background that they can really use to market themselves for post grad opportunities. They can make money in college now with NIL. They’re not passing up money for college. This just doesn’t make sense to me. These kids are getting bad advice IMO. It’s different than the “leave college early and go pro” argument because then you’re talking about money that can set you up for the rest of your life even if it doesn’t work out. OTE isn’t offering that. It makes sense for the most elite prospects but not for these 4 star guys. [/QUOTE]
