The flip side to that argument: Would you rather go to a minor league, get a minor league salary and travel by bus from one small town to another, or would you rather play for a few years at a university where you get to play in sold-out arenas on national TV and you're idolized by the student body? I remember my college years as some of the best years of my life, and I was just a nerd in the Computer Science program. I knew my payday was coming eventually.
There probably isn't an answer that's right for 100% of the athletes. I just wanted to point out that playing college basketball isn't such a horrible gig.
