Many examples of 'one and done' players going back to get their degree during off season's. It has become much more of a norm now and that's why Ivy League schools have started to be part of the conversation. If you are going to get a degree after you are done playing professionally, why not get an Ivy League degree? I know Coach K at Duke works hard to have his "OaD" players come back and graduate.

Here is an article about Duke in particular:

"Coleman said the “half and done” problem hasn’t surfaced at Duke, as all Krzyzewski’s one-and-done players have completed their freshman year in good academic standing.

“That’s the thing that differentiates us from some of the other universities where their one-and-dones put in the fall semester so they’re eligible to play in the spring and many of them don’t complete the year,” he said an interview with The Herald-Sun."
