Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 5319322, member: 1023"] I read somewhere that less than 2% of d1 basketball players play in the NBA. So if it is a minor league it is a pretty poor one. Even if you include the G and oversees it’s probably less than 5%. And probably an ever lower number who actually make a career out of it. I’ve seen 1.6 to 1.75% which is similar with football. I really don’t know about other players in the major pro leagues. Hockey lets draft picks play on college teams which might skew the numbers a bit. Baseball I really don’t know but guessing the minor league system discourages many top prospect from going to college programs. Bottom line is if you are going to college with your only goal is to get to the pros, regardless of sports, you might want to rethink your goals. If you are a school and are supporting a sport mainly to get guys to the pros, you should probably reassess. [/QUOTE]
