Zion used his 8 months at Duke to turn himself into a massive brand and set the stage for a shoe company bidding war that will make him more than $200Million very soon. If he went to Italy for a year this wouldn't have happened. Going to college for a year is worth it financially for the future nba stars like Zion even if they aren't getting paid to go to college (though they are most likely getting paid to go to college). My point is that Zion should not be brought up in these arguments. He is an exception. All of the one and done guys are exceptions. One thing that shouldn't be forgotten is how amazing life on campus is for a college athlete which is really the main reason most of the top 20 high school basketball players go to college for a year or 2 instead of going to europe or the g-league.

But when you start talking about football players at huge universities that are more likely to be chewed up and spit out with body and brain damage and only a small chance of becoming an nfl player, and no opportunity to play internationally, the argument for paying the player becomes more reasonable.
