Prolly so Hh! But I've always said if you have a kid that gets taken high enough to sign a pretty large deal, why the hell not? Hell, bank the money and give it 4-5 years to make the show and if it doesn't happen go to college and get your degree on the interest from the money you banked! No brainer really. Had a friend who's son was a standout HS pitcher and QB. Fastball in low 90s with a great changeup and curve to boot. He was drafted in a later round and the money being thrown out there didn't make sense to them being he had a full ride offer from a very expensive FBS here in TX so he went that route in lieu of signing out of HS. He got his degree in 4 years and also had a pretty bad injury to his throwing arm as a soph and never was the same again. So, he probably made the correct decision because that degree was probably about a $250k value at the time and the signing bonus would have likely been 1/2 that or maybe less. Many of the high rounders that skip college have a nice insurance policy placed on them as part of their contract by the MLB club they signed with in case of a carrier ending injury that eventually leads to them not making the bucks. From the conversations I had with one local parent whose kid went to the bigs and made the big boy club, this is how it worked. Wonder how many of those kids drafted has it work out like that.

Don’t know. It’s not all that expensive for the mother club to take out one these polices because it’s limited in time frame and it’s enough to get the kid through college and maybe a little cash left over for post college.
