Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 1736172, member: 285"] The college game is suffering because it has allowed itself to become the minor leagues for the NBA and sold its soul for piles of cash. And as to the comparison between other professions requiring years of formal education and basketball, the comparison doesn't work. In law or medicine you are attending school to be trained in your intended profession. The education you are obtaining is directly relevant to that profession. With basketball you are attending school because it is required as an eligibility requirement for playing in what passes as the minor leagues for basketball. The education that college hoopsters are pursuing has absolutely nothing to do with their intended profession (basketball). Don't confuse this with whether the education might someday be useful.
