Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 3905273, member: 615"] Yeah I agree more I think about this whole thing. To me the super duper star of college basketball (think Carmelo, Durant, etc) would they be better off signing a MASSIVE NIL in college and having the marketing thrust of a blue blood college behind them vs getting drafted to a lesser ran NBA team? I just wonder where the delta ultimately shrinkens in this market environment. I'm talking post 2003 run, how much is Melo worth to Nike if he stays at Syracuse and plays another few years. I gotta think in the multi multi millions vs going to Denver Nuggets? I think the pro contracts accelerate so much that getting to the NBA and getting to your second deal probably is the big concern to this but maybe the CBA in the NBA changes too? [/QUOTE]
