You think college teams paying kids millions of dollars is ridiculous.   99% of them can't make anything close to that playing professional ball.

Syracuse doesn't always recruit great players.  They develop players a lot of the time, which leads to a lot of they success Syracuse has.  Kids come to Syracuse to play in a great venue, be on TV, play other great teams, get great coaching, win and have a chance at the next level.

Sure the NBA doesn't want most of the college kids.  Why would they?  18 year old kids that are not ready for that level of basketball.  It hurts their game.   Does Xerox take high school kids?  And again, the kids are not forced to go to college at all.  Going to Europe is an option.   Brandon Jennings did.  It's not the most attractive option,  but it's still an option.  Kids would rather to college for a year (6-7 kids per year) than go play in Europe because college ball is a fantastic alternative.
