That was one Of the things the 1-year rule was supposed to insure…that the players considered the Impact on their academic careers. Academic considerations have essentially been taken off the table in the name of money. And for the record, very few basketball players who stay past their freshman year are NBA bound. The NBA drafts +-60 players Annually. There are about 4200 D1 hoop players. So you probably ain’t going to the league even if you are a star. Over the past dozen years, the almost all of the top 10 college players drafted have been freshmen. So if you have been there for 4 years, you probably ain’t going to the league. It’s possible of course, just not likely. If you want to travel, and learn a new language like Greek, Chinese, Russian, Norwegian, whatever they speak in Indonesia, and make $2-3000/month, that’s great. But you better have a backup plan. And after transferring 3 times in 4 years, it probably won’t be a college degree. [/QUOTE]
