a lot of guys that took the money say they wish they had gone to school after all was said and done. zack greinke for one example. there are plenty. if you are a kid and your family is ok financially, why not come to school and be around other kids, have fun, go to football games, chase trim, just be a college student for 3 years. the money, maybe more, and there are many examples of that also, will be there. now if you or your family need the money, more power to you, take the money and run. ever wonder why there are so few minorities in college baseball. hey, just another way to look at it.

Its a business decision, not an emotional one

Its a time value of money calculation. If you can put the money in the bank and it will grow more in 3 years than you can improve your draft stock, go pro. If you can improve your draft stock more than you can get in an investment, go to college.
This is a decision matrix for someone likely to be promoted quickly through the minors. If you are a late round draft pick and will be a late round draft pick in 3 or 4 years, you need to plan for life outside of baseball and college education becomes more of a factor.
But chasing college tail should always be the trump card!
