That and a few-million-dollar NIL valuation softens the blow of not coming out.

Yeah, I don't think he's coming out.

That's a good point. I'm a bit surprised NIL money hasn't been more of a factor in guys staying in college. Although maybe it has been, and I just haven't noticed it.

As opposed to a much larger contract guaranteed bonus from the NFL?

It's not like he would be the first guy to pass on being a top draft pick and a ton of money to go back to school.

We have a statue of a guy that did it outside Lucas Oil Stadium. And he didn't have the cushion of being able to make millions as a college athlete.

It's relatively rare for athletes whom are guaranteed millions of dollars to go back to college instead of turning pro, but it does happen.

In 1984, Patrick Ewing returned to Georgetown for his senior year, even though he had just won BOTH a national championship AND an Olympic Gold medal.

Additionally, in 1988 when he had just completed his 4th season with the Knicks, he said that he still sometimes wished that he was still in college ...... he loved the overall college experience.
