While NIL is giving some income to this guys, and the top guys make good money, Stats say 3-4% of NCAA athletes get drafted, but I think it is more like 1%. The 3-4% number that gets thrown around assumes a senior class, but in today's world, all bets are off after the first year anyways.

360 NCAA teams x 15 guys a roster= ~5400 athletes.
13 internationals last year, so 47 NCAA athletes.
That's 0.87% chance to be a drafted NCAA player in a given year.

Now including undrafted or G league callups, about 60-75 rookies received playing time of any kind, this includes draftees, undrafted, and 10 day contracts. So while that is above the 47 athletes drafted from college, The denominator goes up as well because they are competing against G League guys, free agents coming back from overseas for the first time, etc.

Basically, stay in school kids, build skills, most likely you will need it later in life.
