He won't last 5 years before he'll be back in college. However, during that time, he'll pick up easily 10 million and then sign a new college contract for 3 million a year -- regardless of how he does in the NBA.
The natural inclination of these coaches is to go somewhere and expect to win. In the past, they've gone to the NBA with full expectations and not winning has hurt some of them -- short or long term. However, now that they all have agents, they are listening to sound advice: CASH OUT NOW. In 5 years there may not be an NBA offer, but with 2 national champ hats on your head, you WILL find a college job, even if its a mid major.
10 mill in the right investments can easily generate 500K a year (in some cases with low or no taxes) forever in free cash flow without touching the corpus. That's financial security for anyone, even those in the high brow leagues.
