If you get 2.5M it doesn't really matter but if you are in a spot in between taking a draft bonus and taking a college scholarship taxes can matter and should be considered.

Absolutely, 100% agree. And would love to be in a position to need to make that decision. Sign the pro contract, or take the scholarship? A potentially very difficult decision, yes--but one I'd like to be fretting over. The OP's linked articles are excellent help, and I hope I need to refer to them in a couple years.
