quote:Ask MATT WHITE!
Vance, IMO, Matt White is the exception, even within the exception. Got very lucky on the money side, not so on the baseball.
Perhaps a more mainstream story.
We were sitting with the parents of a minor leaguer who signed out of high school. Contract does allow for him to return to college and have a good portion of that paid for through the tuition program. Appears after completing his 4th year in the minors that getting beyond AA is unlikely. Parents are both insistent he return to college and get his degree. The problem is he has now met a girl and intends to get married during the off season and has no interest in returning to college. His signing bonus was not in the millions, has mostly been spent and the tuition value may likely never be used. I think this is the more usual scenario, not Matt White.
