Fair enough. Hamels reportedly had a high SAT but signed out of high school, so while naturally bright I’m not sure if he went to college on the side. If you view college as a means to make money, you’d think he didn’t need college. If you view college as a way to become educated, learn how to think, observing and learning from others not just like you, etc, you would think college is an essential element in enriching your life. He might have learned about concepts like market size, how the Cubs built a large fan base through cable and their brand, etc.
