Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 5128220, member: 237"] I mean then we should just get rid of college basketball then. This could be the answer for thousands of athletes in getting paid sooner playing professionally somewhere and begin earning. Essentially that is what this adds up to. I don’t think we know his NIL earning potential or other money he could have earned with an extra year of school had he gotten into NewHouse etc etc. Every kid is different and you assume he doesn’t make more because of the extra year which is all a guess. Cole isn’t limited to a basketball only career. Smart kid with a lot going for him. Also not an NBA prospect paired with “if he gets 3 years in the league” doesn’t make sense in your point. To me whatever decision he made was going to work out good for him. No telling which would have been better. [/QUOTE]
