[QUOTE="YankeeIllini, post: 1405143, member: 639964"] Because the schools and the NCAA are not (supposed to be) professional entities. If the NBA and the NFL would step up and establish minor league structures that are real and viable, then athletes coming out of high school would have a choice - pros or college (money or education). It might be a little over-simplistic, but basketball and football players have never had that choice, and I believe it is a large part of the root cause that creates a lot of the ills we see in college athletics in the flagship sports that are associated with the mountains of cash. Just my $0.02 . . . [/QUOTE]
