I assume that by the time summer league play began he was at the pinnacle of his
Athletic ability, and there was a very clear gulf between him and the nba talent on the floor.

Hey, they know very well how to get by in Italy on $500-$600 a month

As long as they are also living rent-free and tax-free

The biggest plus is that he speaks Italian...

things worked out great for Mika, just as i have to believe he knew they would

Hmmm...seems like he made a really stupid decision

I doubt he would have made more money.

He must be one of the .0000001 percent of americans

I think the value of being a BYU legend is worth a few $$$. He didn't agree.

He's making more than 90% of recent graduates. And he just finished his 2nd year

'very likely' is entirely up to interpretation, and do you really believe that?

I would assume he is making closer to $100k. But I have no inside knowledge of

He will have plenty of opportunities to go back. Not a real point IMO.

There is also an advantage to going to school
CougarVeteran

Although he will also likely be balancing kids later in the equation
Gigo

Agreed, he should have come back.
Cougstreak
7/20/17 2:09pm
Data says it's not so likely that he will return later and get a degree...
Jasbo
7/20/17 1:00pm
Pls give the background on the data, is the focus on kids from wealthy families?
Cougstreak
7/20/17 2:05pm
But he was a high level DIV 1 athlete at BYU. He is not part of the statistics.

What would change next yr regarding Mika's size, Length, athleticism that would

Sounds about right.

It's silly for anyone to think that Mika didn't know this was the most probable

100k or a senior season? That 100k would have been there next year.

200K+ or TWO years of school and the ability to go back at any time
Dissenter
7/20/17 12:09pm
Where did you get the $200k+?
chilango
7/20/17 12:13pm
100k x 2=200k. Mika would be a junior this year.

Pay for free or get paid to play. No contest there.

Why do any good players ever go to college then? Do you think they should all go
chilango
7/20/17 12:20pm
How many people are making 100k w/ only an undergrad?
Metallicat
7/20/17 1:16pm
How does what other grads are making have anything do with this?
JKLCoug
7/20/17 1:33pm
Because the person I was replying to asked about the value of a college educatio
Metallicat
7/20/17 2:25pm
What if he's only making $80K? Does this change anything? And BTW,
chilango
7/20/17 1:51pm
Ok, so he's making less than some and more than most recent grads.

Not dramatically but they would have improved
warp

You should change "would" for "could". Nothing is certain.
Cougstreak
7/20/17 9:30pm
"could" implies possible but not likely
warp

Not that I want to get too involved in your conversation, but "could" is best.
