That was more my thinking. I just figured there couldn't be much of a market for him. A full ride can be worth what $75,000+ a year.
I was all for Mary Cain going pro as I figured she'd could pull in much, much more than the value of a college scholarship.
In this case, if it's about equal I think most kids should go to college.
I'm a bit surprised Robert's initial reaction was disgust. But my initial reaction was more along the lines of people when they post on here "What? Why? Who?"
I think Robert is a bit like Pres. Trump. He has an initial reaction and puts it out there. But if you read Robert's full post by the end of it it is much more reasonable than just being disgusted. Most of us would probably delete the initial part on disgust but that's how he felt.
A WNBA salary is likely equally to about the value of a full-ride. So he'd just be changing like for like.
If he got anywhere near Drew Hunter money then fine, but there was a lot of buzz around Drew. I think most posters on here wouldn't have been able to tell you what Hoey had done this year.
That is so extreme. A kid is getting the financial resources to pursue his dream and going for it. I'm fine with him taking it. You could easily argue this is one of the great parts of our society. Lots of different opportunities.
