If you bust out, have a career ending injury, or whatever...at least you made enough $ overseas to pay your way through college.

At the present time, usually the value of the NCAA basketball exposure > making money playing overseas. Because if it didn't, top players would ALWAYS go to Europe. They must value the exposure that NCAA Basketball gives them and it's a great place to improve your game to develop under some great coaches and programs.
