I get the desire. Kids who are at the end of their playing road want to finish on their own terms. Still, that's a lot of coin for 30-35 games.
1. Current job market is difficult at best.
2. Get your Masters from a highly regarded institution.
3. Play your "Sr" Baseball season in college.

Don't see a downside if 4 is true.
* my son got his masters fully funded by industry.
