Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 3745622, member: 5564"] I mean let’s be real here. If you are 18, 19, 20 years old, and you offered a couple million dollars I think 99.9% of people take that. We say this stuff as it was never a reality for us and never had the opportunity of millions at that age so it’s easy to say we wouldn’t take the millions. But if we legitimately had the opportunity to play pro ball for millions at that age I would take that in 2 seconds. If you are wise with that money you are set for life, it also allows you the money to go back and get your degree if they want too. But a couple million at that age, invest it, save it, etc...and they are set for life. Yeah you may miss a couple years of the college experience but your pro ball window is SO SMALL that you have to take it when you can and cash it in when you can and that in turn sets you up for the experience of life. I don’t blame these kids for one second for leaving early and cashing in. They don’t owe us anything, we aren’t the ones working out, blood, sweat and tears hours and hours every day, coming from some of the neighborhoods they come from. I give props to the kids if anything, not everyone is as lucky as we are and the second they have the opportunity to give a better life to their families and themselves, who the hell are we to tell say something or tell them what to do yanno? Now selfishly as a huge Cuse fan I wish all these guys stayed 4 years but I totally understand them leaving and I wish them success in life as they need to do what’s best for them and they know the circumstances they have in front of them. Whether they are in the league 2 years or 15 years it’s hard as hell to get there and maintain staying there. But by all means cash in when you can and set you and your fam up for life young fella [/QUOTE]
