I understand the leverage aspect, but neither are likely to ever reach the pros, and their signing bonus will have disappeared by the time they retire from minor league baseball.
If I had a penny for every player drafted out of HS or college that was selected in the top 20 rounds and never made it to an MLB roster...
Low balling a general bonus let's say in round 10...you go from negotiating let's say in a range of 100-150k as a junior to 10-30k as a senior. It's not much at all in the grand scheme of things but it does open up doors for people as well as leave the door open to finish a degree later in life.

Shouldn't they just get a degree, play pro ball a few years, then come back here and find a job real easily?
This is the question only that player and direct family know. It should be commended for getting a degree and sticking around for an extra year to help win a national championship. All in all at the end of the day every player is different in the way they handle this.
