In a shocking turn of events, AJ Dybantsa has forgone the NBA draft in favor of returning to BYU as a finance TA. Dybantsa posted the following on LinkedIn this morning:
“My time at BYU is not done. NBA contracts might seem appealing, but I could make that money in a single summer selling pest control.”
While many NBA fans mourn the decision, summer sales companies and the BYU faithful champion Dybantsa’s bold decision. The BYU coaching staff, however, seemed less enthused.
“He’s a lot more interested in building his resume before junior core than he is in basketball,” Says men’s basketball coach Kevin Young. “Maybe he’ll come back if we give him an internship.”
In a world of waning college loyalties, it’s refreshing to see a star who will now no longer look down on others because he plays basketball, but because he’s in finance.
