What would you do if you were Matt Harvey (this week's high five airing Thursday at 5:00/11:00 and on Sunday Sports Replay)? He is a senior pitcher at Fitch High School in Groton with a million dollar right arm. Check that. His arm could be worth hundreds of millions before his career is over. He throws 96 miles an hour. He mixes speeds and leaves hitters frozen with what his father and coach Ed Harvey calls a "dirty" curveball. But right now Matt faces a dilemma.

It's a decision we should all be so lucky to have to make. Harvey has a full ride to North Carolina. But as the top pitching prospect in the country, yes the country, he could go very in high in next week's baseball draft. And if and when he does, he will be offered millions to sign. So should he take the money and start his pro career or get the education first?

To me, this is a no-brainer. Go pro now! I am all for education and had the college loans to prove it. A top quality education is something no one can ever take away from you. But the opportunity to make millions playing baseball can be taken away with one injury.

Take the money now, Matt. You can always go back to college and earn your degree. In fact, because of the leverage he will have, whatever team drafts him, will probably pay for his education (whenever he chooses to take college classes).

Who knows if Matt Harvey will be the next Brian Taylor or the next Roger Clemens. I just hope he gets rewarded for his gift. College is wonderful. In some cases, truly the best four years of your life. But what's worse... accepting millions to go pro, never making it and then going back to school a rich man or going to North Carolina, getting hurt and ending up in a slow pitch softball league. I love slow pitch. Played it for years. But the financial opportunity right now may just be too good to pass up. Matt Harvey is that good. We should all be so lucky to have such good choices.
