Maybe its because I am a 45 year old former D1 AA football player that never really had the chance to make any money at it (and often even sat the bench at Albany) but it does not make sense to me how these kids could throw away the amazing experience of college for a few more peanuts.
Matt Leinart is the model I would use if I was a basketball player as well. He said " College Life is too fun to give it up". Just think, each of these players were Big Man on Campus and everyone knew them. Girls all over them and everyone inviting them to parties. Their Basketball team friends did the same thing and they had 30k fans to watch them play in a huge stage.
They give it all up to end up playing for the Mad Ants or some team Internationally or may even be out of Basketball. What am I missing here in the equation. Is it the agents that get to them? I mean they are not exactly eating Ramen Noodles like I was in college and couch fishing for quarters to buy a 22 ounce Bud Ice at the convenient store.
What tempts them to leave early when in reality they know they will not play in the NBA?
