I don't disagree with anything you said. I was trying to get at the fact that if Dion is ready for the NBA this year, then Syracuse did its job.  
 
I think we have agreed in the past that colleges should do more to prepare elite athletes by offering courses for money management, life skills, etc. I don't know that I'm ready to say that high level athletes should be able to major in basketball (i.e. playing, coaching, courses at Newhouse for how to conduct both sides of an interview, proper use of social media, studio analysis - look what Newhouse has done for Shaq!, etc.), but Syracuse as a university is uniquely situated to appeal to elite football and basketball recruits. You would have to find guys that are far-sighted enough to think beyond their NBA/NFL careers to consider the long haul, but Newhouse is an invaluable resource that the athletic department should find a way to utilize more 
 
And talk about being tangential to the topic at hand...
