They can go straight to the pros (as in baseball) and take care of that shallow argument - someone else will come in a play more than a few months and the school will still "make millions"
How many of these kids who go on and make millions give back? Very few to any proportionate extent. As much as many dislike Carmelo I have a huge respect what he has done with Cuse. UConn cannot point to one player who has done that on the basketball side.
What about Tony Rizza? he gets a partial scholarship to play soccer at UConn and gives back $8 million
Greg Wolff swims at UConn and he and his family build a Natatorium on campus
My son donates and purchases tickets more as a percent of his salary to UConn than 90% of basketball players do to their schools. Plus his success in the business field is great PR for the university. 
What don't you get about if the hoops player wants to go to college he/she gets a free ride - a hell of a lot more than many who have given so much more back to the school
