CUSEBB1: As has been stated by others, you can always return to get your degree, but you can't always return to the NBA. Dion's decision will be impacted by his projected draft slot and how risk adverse he is. If he is projected to go late in the 1st round, then he could return, improve his stock, and even have time to overcome an injury as a Senior and return to late 1st round status.
 
As a lottery pick it isn't that hard of a choice.
Leave: Guaranteed high-pay rookie contract, the chance to prove himself over a few years (with a longer leash than under-performing late round picks), and the ability to return to school if things don't work out.
Stay: Chance he goes higher in the draft for more money, but also the possibility he blows out his knee and never returns to lottery form.
 
So implying someone is stupid for leaving is just a juvenile response. He wouldn't look too smart if he was a projected lottery pick, came back and tore his ACL and never was the same. He gets the degree in either case as long as he wants to, so your point about not valuing education makes no sense.
