I'd be willing to let my kid pass up the prom if he had a legit chance at being signed for TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS the following year, heck, he can read Hamlet on the bus during his short stint in the minors.

well if he has a shot to make it I would do it but really stay in school!

He's getting his GED and going to junior college, so it's not like he's dropping out.

I read this last week, and I think it is the right move that his parents are making.

The problem I do have with it, though, is that there are no doubt thousands of delusional parents who will see this news and think that maybe it's a viable path for their nowhere-near-as-talented sons and daughters.

Can't stop stupid.

If he's being told he'll get even a few million as a signing bonus, then he really has good reason to do this.
