The Bubba Starling Thread

As much as I hate baseball..I'd still take the money and enroll at UNL in 3 years.

Unless the kid doesn't want to play baseball for a career then the money seems useless. 8 million is a lot BUT it may not be a lot 5 years from now who knows....plus how many young people falling into easy money stretch it out over their entire lives? To me the Husker experience would be priceless but this was driven into me at an early age...

Is this decision going to take till midnight ?

 

[huskerscott]

There's a lot involved here. The contract will spread out over a 5 year period. Maybe 1-2 million upfront and the bulk paid at the end to ensure he plays out his contract. Right now the rumor is 8.5 million, I believe this is why he wants 10 million so the first payment is worth giving up another dream. 3-4 million up front sounds better than 1-2

Boras wants 10 million, wonder what his cut is?

Might not sound as good, but still sounds damn good!

I think the entirety of the contract is guaranteed, however.

I'll pay him 11 million to come to Nebraska, just don't tell anyone.

Just leave it in a backpack in his dorm room and no one will ever know...

I am almost positive that paying a recruit $11 million is an NCAA violation.

Ask Cam Newton, he seems to have gotten in under the cutoff.

Unless God tells you to.
