He can go to any school he wants and use the Phillies money, but he'd have to sit a year if that was anywhere other than MSU. Unless, of course, he pulls a Garrison Brooks and at that point all bets are off.
Surely the phillies were smart enough to say the value of the college education is capped at 8 semesters of tuition at miss state. If not, the kid could go to vandy or Stanford and really milk that deal

Free Masters degree or pay toward a Phd wouldn't be a bad way to go.

It's for the cost of tuition at Mississippi State.

I have no idea how it works. High school kids who don't sign with any college get the same deal all the time from whoever drafts them, so it would have to be a flat amount in those cases and not tied to the tuition rate at any school. But either way, if he comes to MSU, the university has to foot the bill and honor the LOI. What other money he gets is irrelevant, but I'm sure that the Phillies have an out that prevents them from having to cover the full costs if he's already got MSU giving him a scholarship. But if not, buoy for him.
