[QUOTE="dmurdock, post: 54561, member: 381"] I assume this means future tuition payments. To me that is a sign of a true student athlete, the education is as important as the sport. This clause really makes the pro contract a lot like the college scholarship, playing baseball gets your college paid for (or at least partially paid for with the scholarship). Difference is while playing for Tech, he goes to school most of the year while playing ball on campus but there is pressure to get good grades and make progress on a degree. With the pro contract he plays ball part of the year and goes to school part of the year, and with the school part he now gets to proceed at the rate/classes he chooses. All in all not a bad deal and I don't blame him for taking it. [/QUOTE]
