gradfromthenest... this is the first time i strongly disagree with you... your statement put me over the edge and forced me to buy a star for $12.... this is not an attack but why would you turn down 1-1.5 mil to go to college... think about this... it has been his dream his whole life to play pro baseball and he is getting the chance and making a lot of money... he can always go back and get an education if it doesnt work out. Most people go to college to learn and train for a job, but in his case, he is getting that job so why should he go to vandy... i understand if he wasnt getting much of a signing bonus but he is..... let me say this again... it is not an attack on you. it is just the completely opposite opinion..

I respect Grad and his opinions - he's been a voice of common sense in a sea of trash talk throughout the spring. However I'll also respectfully disagree. Beyond the pursuit of higher learning, we go to college to develop skills that will enable us to establish a career and financial security. 1st round moneycan potentially set up a person for life, if they are prudent with the money. In addition, college tuition will probably be part of the deal. Why not chase the dream? You never know what will happen down the road.

 

However, I wouldn't criticize someone for making the decision either way. If the college experience overrides the lure of pro-money that's fine too.

 

It's a win-win situation.

Chill out Statement...I would sign too if I was offered a couple million dollars. As long as you're smart with your money then everything'll be ok. Well hey, at least I earned CoachT $12! I should get something for it!
