[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 880416, member: 5007"] The only thing they're paying is "age tax" given they all have 2 years of eligibility left, thanks to Covid and the NCAA. They're baseball "juniors" in their senior year of college. Wouldn't they still have the school "leverage" year of school remaining? I would [B]definitely [/B]put a degree, [B]in-hand, [/B]from GT up there worth more than $500K, easily. Especially when these guys are at an age and muscle memory of studying, time management, age/life and bills/kids not in the way yet, etc. The MLB does offer the degree, as do most baseball programs (if drafted come back for free), but not a lot of guys take advantage of that time or getting that degree afterwards, especially those that don't make it through to the show and were stuck in the minors, making squat for years. They also have to go back to that school and might not live nearby or in that part of the country. Varitek commuted from Austin to finish his degree and certainly had the means to do so with ease. He valued thad degree, talked about it, and worked to get it. [/QUOTE]
