Message: [QUOTE="FortyFourCT, post: 1016558, member: 382"] Exactly. If Tyler Ennis attended University of Maine would he be leaving early for the draft? Of course not. One of thereasons he has declared and is likely a top 20 pick is because of Syracuse University. The coaches, the infrastructure, the conference, the TV time, etc. There are a dozen kids across the the country as good as Tyler that don't get the press. Nobody makes them go to college and if they don't see the value of a free education, that is their problem turning down an opportunity. They are not special cause they can play hoops. I said it before on this board and I'll say it again: is it worth a few bucks which most of these kids lose in 5-10-15 (60% of draftees are broke in 5 years, that percentage increases once you hit 10 and 15 years) years in exchange for an education that lasts a life time? For a small percentage, yes. Those are the ones who stick for 5+ years in the league. Chances are slim. [/QUOTE]
