Update:
The NC State fans were very nice. The guys sitting next to me were surprised to hear that student athletes can go to college to get a good education in addition to playing basketball. They kept saying something like, 'Why aren't y'all's players at bigger schools? They can really play.'
I used to work with the chief counsel of a major US utility who later served as its chairman and CEO. He grew up in LA and had several D1 offers, a couple of them from major programs, IIRC. He ultimately elected to attend and play for Yale.
His boyhood friends were extremely disappointed in his choice as they were sure he could have "made something of himself" had he gone the major college route.
As an aside, his son graduated from Bucknell a few years ago.
