18 collegiate players will earn more than LeBron James

At least 18 men’s college basketball players will earn more than LeBron James next season. The last time that was true? Try the 2002-03 season, when James was a senior at St. Vincent-St. Mary High in Akron, Ohio. Technically, any college hooper on scholarship “made” more than James at the time, though prominent players were getting more than room, board and tuition long before the current era of compensation in the millions.
