00:00A.J. DiBansta, one of the best college basketball players who just might be the number one overall pick in
00:05the NBA draft.
00:06Riches right away, but by the way, he gets paid a lot of money to play at BYU here.
00:11He, quote, said this, Joe, I might not leave college.
00:14My mom wants me to stay and get a degree.
00:17Well, your mom, look, it's a mom out here.
00:20What can I say?
00:21I can't disparage the mom right now for giving that type of advice, Joe.
00:24But he leaves BYU, minted, multimillionaire, even though he's already a multimillionaire.
00:30But there'll be more millions once he gets the NBA and a faster chance of getting to that second contract,
00:35which is what they all want.
00:36Love to see he loves it at BYU.
00:38But if their coach is like, yeah, you know, it sounds great.
00:40Come back.
00:41He's doing him a disservice.
00:43The kid's got to go.
00:44But can't hate him for liking college this much.
00:48Donnie, I got to tell you, if this is a byproduct of the ineptitude of the NCAA and this NIL
00:57debacle here, where somehow you're convincing the college players, these 18-year-olds, that, you know what, maybe it's, hey,
01:05with the money I'm making here, maybe I just stay and get my degree.
01:09Yeah.
01:10I am all for it.
01:12Let's not forget, we haven't seen something like that since, they said the same thing about Tim Duncan back in
01:18the day, remember?
01:18What are you staying at Wake Forest for?
01:21What are you doing?
01:21And Tim Duncan's like, I'm not going, like, I came here to get my degree.
01:25I'm getting my degree.
01:26The NBA will wait.
01:27This kid can do the same.
01:29The NBA will absolutely be there for him when he is done playing college basketball.
01:34But that would be great momentum for the college game if he is the poster child for, where are we,
01:41what are we running to go play in the NBA for if we're making a million dollars in NIL money
01:45here anyway?
01:46Why don't we just get our degree?
01:47That would be fantastic, Donnie.
