I'm not sure if the figures in this article are correct, but let's assume they are for now. The disparity in pay is a lot of money to most college students and it is especially a significant difference for players who come from indigent backgrounds.
Let's put it in adult terms, you are trying to decide where to work for your first job out of college, one job is paying $18,720, another is paying $24,540 and another is paying $47,880, if you don't believe that the job that is paying $47,880 is awfully tempting to accept than I have some swamp land in Louisiana to sell you.
This example is a oversimplification, but to pretend pay disparity will not be some factor in kids decisions is to be naive.
Dantonio is resilient and he is a winner; he will find a way to win, but he just got another obstacle placed in his path that he has to surmount.
Thoughts?
