I've said it elsewhere: college isn't for everyone. If you're a genius and want to be a brain surgeon, go to school and get your degrees. If you can shoot like Steph, have a 42" vertical, but can't spell vertical...go directly to the show...do not pass go...do not collect $20,000.

AGREED!
I view Bilas' viewpoint as self serving, as his income is tied to the popularity of the sport much like a coach. If you want them to get paid, have them go to a pay-for-play league. Otherwise, the promise of free tuition, etc. should be a pretty good tradeoff in my book.
