Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 210041, member: 837"] I see your point but I disagree. I mean, in an ideal world, yeah these kids would still go to class and at least put forth some moderate effort to get a degree that would help them out later in life. But, realistically, they are all professional basketball players. I guess Harris is looking to play football or something, but he and devendorf could play overseas and flynn has a chance to carve out a 10-year nba career. Their job as far as they are concerned is to put forth enough effort to stay eligible. When they no longer need to stay eligible, there simply isn't much point, in their eyes. And, I'm not sure I blame them. I mean, they [I]should[/I] take classes, but they will probably have a better nest egg than I will ever have and can certainly finish up at a later date or get into coaching, etc. [/QUOTE]
