Correct the D-League isn't generating billions of dollars in revenue.  Everyone knows who Kentucky, Duke, Syracuse and Kansas is.    Nobody knows or cares about the teams in the D League.  Those schools have a brand name, with great coaches.  They play in unique buildings that people know.  Their alumni and fans supports those programs because they identify with the school/program and coaches, not necessarily any one player.    Who determines a players worth?  How much should Paul Harris have been paid?  His tuition each year at Syracuse was worth more than he's making in the D-league.   Should he have gone to the D-League right out of high school?  Syracuse was a better choice, because they provide the platform for kids like him to make it to next level, get an education, and free room and board, for doing what he loves to do-play basketball.    Syracuse Basketball generates the revenue, not any one player.   So what the players are worth 99% of the time is their scholarship.  The small percentage that can do better leave early and play professionally.  Again, nobody is making these kids attend college.  It's just the best option available for nearly all of them.
