Betances was expected to be chosen in the first round of the 2006 MLB draft. However, he committed to attend Vanderbilt University on a baseball scholarship to play for the Vanderbilt Commodores and had a high signing bonus demand, which led him to fall in the draft. The Yankees selected Betances in the eighth round of the draft and gave him a $1 million signing bonus to forgo his commitment to Vanderbilt.{{cite web|last=Kernan |first=Kevin |url=http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/yankees/item_6E91q2jnYBurOvuUoZ5dMO |title=Betances On Fast Track To The Majors |work=New York Post |date=November 8, 2008 |access-date=August 11, 2013}}
