Re: Hansbrough, Lawson Returning to UNC; Wright Undecided
[ QUOTE ]
This is why I don't understand why guys like Durant just ditch the rest of their school years. It's great times, and it seems like more fun than the NBA. [/ QUOTE ] well 40 million is pretty damn tough to pass on, also you get out of the lottery contract earlier and get the huge deal quicker if I was a lottery lock, I'd leave asap, its likely always -EV to stay if you are lock top5

[/ QUOTE ] College: play basketball go to class, study, take tests nail hot chicks get room, board, & books NBA: play basketball nail hot chicks get paid tons and tons of money take 4 months off every year By the way, if you make $3 million a year and you get paid once every 2 weeks, that's $115,384.61 every paycheck (before taxes). That sounds more "fun" than being broke.

[/ QUOTE ] As a broke college student, I'm having a blast still. It would be even better to be a big-time athlete. Millions and millions of dollars to play basketball and not risk getting a career injury/sucking (See Noah, Joakim) would make it very enticing to leave.

Didn't McGahee do something like this?

A lot of these guys don't have a lot of money. I have a $1,000,000 life insurance policy and the premium is $100 per month... if there's any correlation, and there probably isn't, it would be $4,000 a month for a $40 million policy. That's not easy for a college kid from a lower class (or even middle class) family.
