I disagree with not taking the money when you can get it. 20 years ago I was drafted straight out of high school. I played in the minors for 6 years. After my second year I blew my arm out and had to have Tommy John. I never recovered my fast ball. As a senior in high scholl I was throw 98-100 mph. After recovering from Tommy John my fast ball never was above 91 mph. I believe you take the money when it is offered and then go to school after you are done with the sports. I was able to pay cash for my 4 year degree without any loans because of my signing bonus and salary. Next to the birth of my two sons that was the greatess day off my life when I was drafted.
