True but that's coming from a normal person posting on a sports forum board, not a world class athlete that will be skipping college and banking everything on baseball.

What if he gets hurt during the minor leagues and has to retire from the game? (It happens much more often than you think)

He would have no degree and no skills beyond baseball. That would mean he would have to use that $3 million to live off the rest of his life. But it isn't really $3 million since it is going to be over a few years possibly. Don't forget about taxes too.

So it is safe to say it is going to be 60% of that amount that he gets cash in hand

Then he could go back to college and get a degree
