This is true. The money that high draft picks got without ever having played a down was ridiculous and the owners had to do something about it. The veteran payers didn't care too much for it either.
Being the first overall pick will still make you an instant millionaire, but the pay scale drops quickly after that. If a player (like RGIII) feels he can be the 1st pick next year, it makes a lot of sense to stay in school.
Plus you always have that Bachelor's degree to fall back on.
