In response to Local Observer
Far be it for me to defend Jeff, who as usual, has made ridiculous personal accusations against you that are by no means warranted, BUT, the one-and-done athletes are not doing that out of voluntary choice but rather, because that is the system worked out between the NCAA and NBA as a prerequisite to being drafted. Previously, high school players could go straight in, and for some reason this was not deemed acceptable. But the assumption that someone doing what the NBA and NCAA has made a necessary step to being drafted is anti-intellectual is also unwarranted. Just about everyone would postpone college for a chance to make millions. You can always go to Harvard later....unless Harvard would only accept these guys if they played basketball. And if that is the case, it's not the athletes who should be criticized, it is Harvard.
