One thing that is rarely brought up in these discussions is the college experience. Going to college at that age is a priceless experience. Sure you can go back to college in your 30's but it's not the same. College for many is not just to prepare you for a job but to prepare you for life - and to have a hell of a great time and make life long friends.  I wouldn't trade my college years for anything.

In today's world, Derrick Coleman would have left for the NBA right after pulling down 19 rebounds in the national championship game. He then would have missed the 3 great years he had after that. I doubt he has ever regretted those additional 3 years.

I don't blame any of these kids for leaving early and taking the money. But I do wonder if at the end of their life, if the extra money they made will be worth the experience they could have had in the remainder of their college years. For some it will be and for others not. I wish them all the best.
