It's all about getting to the 2nd contract quicker. You should know better

this theoretically makes sense, but
1. it made sense before last year and under the old CBA
2. this rationale applies to every school, but we're the one major outlier

I guess the decision for those guys though really comes down to if they think they can move OUT of the late rounds and into early ones with one more year in college. If not, probably worth the risk to leave. But, there are probably a lot of Trev Faulks out there.

And what percentage of 3rd round draft picks or below ever get to that "big" 2nd contract.
League minimums are good salaries but won't make many wealthy. Lots of vets are playing for something near minimums, although there aren't any HS hotshots who think they will be anything but superstars.
