Message: [QUOTE="bozophobe, post: 1009958, member: 2589"] One thing about playing abroad is that basketball seasons tend to be much shorter and less strenuous than even US college ball. So someone can gross $120,000, get a free apartment, car, meals, etc. Sure, repatriating the saved money will cost (again, loopholes) quite a bit, but there's still a huge portion of the year left to earn more money. It's hard to keep up with all these ex-SU players. One minute they're in New Zealand; the next they're in a cheap hotel in Iowa somewhere. As of 2012, there were 4 million Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 living with their parents; many with Bachelor's or Master's degrees. They too have a difficult decision to make about the future. I'll bet some of them would prefer to be Andy Rautins strolling down to the Spanish Riviera beach on free afternoons checking out babes while drawing better than SBUX barrista pay.. The horror!
