re: If Players Aren't Going to Make It In the NBA, Why Not Stay?

The premise is not about college players who will play in the NBA. It's about players who won't get drafted. These guys play in leagues for not great money and for many with coaching that is not as good as college coaches. Yes, they get paid but it's not retirement money. And then four years later, they are done and have to get a job without a college degree. Many of them say they can always go back but few do.

My point is that the college game is as good for them as the semipro or Europe or Iraq or wherever leagues. And that the pay they make is not worth the foregoing of the college degree in the long run.
