Message: [QUOTE="andyw715, post: 2592963, member: 4425"] This is kinda a bunch of BS if you ask me. OMG you HAVE to go to college to go pro! Yeah so what? Just like many/most of the other professions out there. I PAID to go to college to get prepared for my job. Having to go for a year (free BTW), get coached by people who know what they are doing, who's job it is to prepare you for the pros, seems like a great deal to me. The system works well for the 1000's of D1 baskball players that graduate each year with a 4 year degree to start their lives. I don't see them complaining about their diplomas as they walk across the stage. For the 60 or whatever that get drafted each year, it is your future employer (the NBA) that says you have to go to school for a year. The schools just have to put up with it. Wendell Carter sure seemed happy in his commitment video to Duke, you know having to endure 9 months at the OAD Duke Univ plantation. [/QUOTE]
