I think an athlete should have the option of going pro whenever he or she choses. Whether it be out of high school, after one year, after three years or after four, it should be the athletes choice. These athletes aren't dropping out, they are getting jobs that pay much more than most of us will ever think about making. I don't think it's right for the NCAA or anyone else to be able to deny these young men a chance to make a living. It should be the athletes choice to do what they think is best for them personally.

And to be honest, you have guys who have ZERO business even being in college. They have no interest to be there, they weigh down the other students in the school who are there for legitimate purposes of education. So, isn't is a waste of the states resources to put a $100K of taxpayers dollars into a student who is only going to that school because he HAS to? The taxpayers who subsidize the state schools are giving money to a student/athlete who could care less about the student part of the equation!
