Not the point, which was that some professions require people to pay their dues, and do what is needed to be done.   Attorneys and doctors can’t just skip their training and hope to become professionals.   Kids that want to play in the NBA need to play college basketball or professional basketball somewhere.   Or they can wait until they are eligible.   They choose college because it’s the best option they have, and it’s a pretty sweet deal compared the alternatives.   And most of these kids aren’t generating much revenue at all for their universities.   You think the 10th kid on the roster at North Dakota State is making that program money?  Is North Dakota State even making money?  And I’d argue it isn’t just the individual players generating billions of dollars, but the institutions and the coaches that have a lot to do with it.   Legendary coaches and legendary program are always there, but the players come and go, sometimes after only 1 season.   These players owe a lot to those coaches and institutions for helping them get to the NBA.
