He would have been insane to turn that down.

The guy that trains my teams has good advice... "If your contract offer has at least six 0's behind the first number, go pro. If not, take your scholly and go to school." This from a guy that did the same as Herschel Walker, signing a small pro summer contract in his home country and unknowingly dropping his full ride to UCLA in soccer. Take the money if it's enough to set you up for life.

Would have loved him here, but he 100% made the right decision. Hard to turn down that kind of money. That is a lot. He'll be in the big leagues soon enough as well. Congrats to Brice!

Don't there was a matching offer from the Tigers, so, good luck to him! Least he held out as long as he could, but the boosters couldn't come up with the cash.
