Sports: Businessmen Offering Basketball Prospects $700,000 to Skip College & Play on Semi-Pro Team

There’s been a lot of debate over the years about whether or not the NCAA should pay their players.  College athletes face ineligibility if they take any form of gifts or money but they’re also unable to work while playing sports and attending school full time.  Many are faced with a conundrum as to what to do and many athletes have taken money and gifts under the table.  Top prospect Emmanuel Mudiay famously chose to forego college and play basketball overseas in China to provide for his family and will now enter the 2015 NBA Draft.  There’s been questions as to whether or not other ballers will follow in his footsteps (although he’s not the first).  Well now they may have even more opportunities to do so.
