don’t think it will change anything for players already in college. Players want to get their pro careers started. The year you get drafted, you only get to play in handful of games. If you stay four years in college, you’re first full year of pro ball, many would already be 23. That is frowned upon in professional baseball. This came directly from an advisor/agent of a player drafted inside the Top 10 rounds a year ago.

I get it and totally understand but 99 percent don't make it to the majors anyways. Unless your coming out of college and project as a major leaguer, then I still say NIL could change a few players minds that cjj would like to keep another year. A ball sucks tbh. Most players never leave a,aa ball.

If a guy gets offered $500k in NIL money to come back for his senior year vs $500k to go pro you go pro. Your SR year you will lose leverage and likely get offered less money on your pro contract unless you drastically up your stock after your SR year which most dont. You have to live with your pro contract for multiple years, NIL will be one year.

This is very hard to project. Guys that aren’t projected as major league prospects and drafted just to fill out a minor league roster aren’t getting drafted high to begin with. If a guy is drafted in the 4th round as you mentioned in your example, the club that drafted him thinks he has chance to be a big leaguer and will treat him as such.
