Well, now we have a new factor in the equation.
Lebron's agency signed a Syracuse commit. The kid gets a one million dollar "internship" with New Balance. He will also skip the G-League for a year to train in Lebron's "program" ... whatever that is.
Lebron is sharp. I'm sure this is the start of something bigger ... an academy? A partnership with the NBA?
I've said my bit about the NCAA's narcolepsy in this environment. But it becomes pretty clear the players are pretty low on everybody's priority list.
Shame on Lebron for selling the idea that $1 million is more valuable than a college education. At best and being VERY genereous, they are similar value.
