I should wait a week or two to post this, because I realize he's still the head of the hated and villainized giant carcass that's rotting on the front lawn, but I thought these were valid comments about why guys are leaving college so early to go to the NBA.
I agree with him - there's not much incentive to stay in college.
As a side note, on the one hand, I'm glad that Wisconsin won, because I didn't want a repeat of the Seattle/New England Superbowl where a majority of the country wanted them both to lose. Plus I generally root for the Big Ten. It was tough to watch Michigan St. get shellacked last night.
On the other hand, I feel sorry for Duke. I can't quite figure out how Wisconsin got ahold of Cinderella's tiara, because they are a #1 seed for God's sake! But no matter, they've managed to take on the underdog persona. So now Duke is going to have to play the role of the big bad villain. It's interesting considering that Wisconsin started out the season ranked higher than Duke, and they were side-by-side in the rankings for most of it. Wisconsin is NOT an underdog, and considering that they just took down undefeated Kentucky, Duke should be playing the part of the underdog, not Wisconsin. But hey, no one is EVER going to feel sorry for Duke, that's for sure. They are a perennial college basketball powerhouse.
