Message: [QUOTE="Guapo, post: 2530668, member: 8179"] If I was to re-write that post, I'd spend less time talking about my employment, since it's easy to think I was comparing my situation to college athletes and that wasn't the point. The point was to show that I have the ability to leave my current location whenever I want and yet I don't because there are a lot of forces keeping me in a place, similar to there being a lot of forces keeping a college athlete at a school. I think you are the one underestimating those forces and I think you're overestimating how the desire to get to the NBA plays in all this. You can make an argument that you can make a better case for the NBA playing at a school below the Kentucky or Kansas tier because of playing time, the spot light only being on you etc. Someone earlier brought up Steph Curry. Why would he have needed to transfer? He went deeper into the tournament than Kansas did, became a college star and is now the biggest basketball star in the world. [/QUOTE]
