Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 210067, member: 716"] Also, I've got to add that you're presenting a false dilemma. There's nothing inherent in wrapping up the semester that would prevent any of these guys from establishing a nest egg, as you put it. Far from it - Syracuse is in the minority of schools that sit in the APR danger zone, while Kentucky and others keep their soon-to-be NBA millionaires academically eligible. I'm not saying that Kentucky's system is above-board, but college athletes have been able to balance completing their studies with preparing for the draft for decades; I've never heard of a kid hurting his employment chances by closing out his semester.
