I prefer the NBA much better. They know how to move the ball around the arc, rotate on defense, expose a weakness on the other team and the talent is so much better.

This much is very true. Most of the top five or six freshmen this year are only in college now because of the NBA rule requiring them to go for at least one year. Same was the case with Kevin Durant and Greg Oden last year. Living here in Los Angeles, we benefit by getting Kevin Love at UCLA and O.J. Mayo at USC for a one year NBA tryout. That's all this is. If you want to believe that they are playing for their school and not to showcase their own talents, I'd like to sell you some oceanfront property.......in downtown Phoenix. What's even more ridiculous is that many people still want to refer to those kids as student athletes. This is a very silly rule, IMO. These kids don't even have to go to class AT ALL during the second half of the school year. As long as they maintain their elegibility through the first semester, they are elegible for the second, at which point they can stop going to class. They have to remain enrolled but they don't have to show up for a single class since maintaining their elegibility for the next season is a moot point.

I will grant you that the majority of players are playing for the team. But the top couple of players at most of the major programs are playing to showcase themselves.
