Through your time at college, you could find a path of life you find more suitable than the NBA, and save yourself the injury altogether.

you really dont understand college athletics do you? lol, most kids who would have gotten drafted are just going to go one year then get drafted, which means no degree, and during that one year they arent made to do enough academics to find a "path of life"... they got tutors and shit...

It is trying to get more people to go to college, which is what the US needs. We need more intelligent and qualified people doing jobs.

what about Darius Miles? he was planning on going to college, but couldnt pass the SAT's (yes, you CAN fail them lol) and couldnt get into college and therefore entered the draft. should you really have to be booksmart to play professional basketball? i think not... just because its become a standard in today's society for people to go to college...
