Bueckers has a closet full. It's not going to be a problem In wcbb. We will be able to count the new female millionaires on one hand and still hold a joint between 2 fingers*. On the mens side they can invest their money instead of keeping it in safety deposit boxes. And the NCAA can take off their blinders. In fact players, since at least going back to Ewing have been able to insure themselves against injury while borrowing the money against future earnings. If that's not trading your talent for money then I missed out when I was in college. Lots of players have done it and the NCAA has given it their blessing because the alternative was losing stars to the pros. Without the insurance Ewing would have left Georgetown/The NCAA. * Just 8 days until I can smoke some pot on my deck without looking around first. :D [/QUOTE]
