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.

Sure.
But if you pass up an opportunity to play professionally and pop and achilles or something, you're stuck.
Computer Science or microbiology or whatever other degree isn't the same as this. Unless you have a stroke or brain aneurysm, you can keep doing computers.
If these guys get hurt they can't do what makes them successful
