Message: [QUOTE="Col. Bleep, post: 1167998, member: 1023"] Who could fault a kid for taking millions and going on to try to live his NBA dream? But left unstated are the implications: College isn't for learning...or even a degree...it's for getting to the next level. Colleges go along with this because colleges make a mint from TV $$$. The players are the reasons colleges are in demand by TV. The players should get a piece of that revenue. The time is coming. Maybe it's even time to stop the charade of winking at academics (hello, UNC). Who really cares if players go to class or get good grades as long as they "remain eligible" and (most of all) play well? I wish it was different. But it's not. [/QUOTE]
