warp All-American

Is that really our experience in basketball and football from the past 15 years? I don't think so.

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

Indy Coug

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

CougarCanuck76

The biggest plus is that he speaks Italian...

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

smokymountainrain

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

JOPE

7/20/17 8:35am

I doubt he would have made more money.

Josef K

He must be one of the .0000001 percent of americans

JOPE

7/20/17 8:58am

Maybe that wasn't a dream of his...

never said he was stupid, i said it is a stupid decision

JOPE

Hard to disagree with this..

I assume that by the time summer league play began he was at the pinnacle of his

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

dYrtbYkerYder

Sadly, I agree

JKLCoug

Settled for a bottom rung of the ladder he hoped to climb

Cougrrrs Roll

And when his playing days are over.............. what next.

Let's see probably millions in investment management

OC Coug

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

Dissenter

7/20/17 11:57am

In the world where he very likely could have

JKLCoug

7/20/17 12:25pm

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

Dissenter

7/20/17 3:14pm

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

Missing a big point...no degree.

*Meant to attach this to Cougar Insider thread...

Jasbo

7/20/17 9:27am

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

Cougstreak

7/20/17 9:47am

There is also an advantage to going to school

CougarVeteran

7/20/17 11:11am

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

Gigo

7/20/17 12:53pm

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.

The Old Y

7/20/17 10:54am

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

icecougar

7/20/17 2:56pm

Sounds about right.

chilango

7/20/17 9:09am

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

84 Grad

7/20/17 11:04am

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

Bluedomination

7/20/17 11:05am

*junior season

SierraCoug

7/20/17 11:27am

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.

Metallicat

I am always amazed at how preoccupied CBers are with money

JoMax

7/20/17 11:54am

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

CougarinOZ

7/20/17 12:06pm

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.

Metallicat

7/20/17 2:32pm

because you can

warp

7/20/17 2:42pm

I see your point, but he was not going to dramatically improve his NBA chances

Cougstreak

7/20/17 2:54pm

Not dramatically but they would have improved

warp

7/20/17 7:52pm

You should change "would" for "could". Nothing is certain.

Cougstreak

7/20/17 9:30pm

"could" implies possible but not likely

warp

7/21/17 6:52am

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

84 Grad

7/21/17 9:24am

Agree
