Money in hand. $$ And there's not a premium in an undergrad degree any more anyway. Maybe 30 years ago. Now, Stanford, Texas tech, Tennessee, Michigan, Arizona......no significant difference from an employer's standpoint. They're all fine. It's all about connections and what you've done in...

Maybe all these players leaving is them matching the loyalty of their coaches. Maybe it has less to do w $ and more to do with trust and integrity. If you can't trust your coaches to do right by you and the team, why be loyal to them? And as a coach, if you can't match the $, you better be able...
