Well that could explain it. When parents get involved, it almost never ends well if there are dollars involved. I watched a kid down this way turn down real money from the MLB to go play Juco ball because his dad was "insulted" by the low offer and that his kid would get more the following year. Spoiler alert - he didn't, and he got shelled in Juco, didn't get drafted at all and got hurt his sophomore year and was done.
Now, he didn't turn down 7 figures or anything, but he turned down solid money and a college guarantee. All because dad was pissed off.
