That is true about LSU, but how can you tell an 18YO kid that comes from a poor up-bringing to turn down $20 million to go to the NBA?...You cannot....and they SHOULD take the money because God knows that there is nothing guaranteed in this life....I hate it too, but that is the world we live in...Leinart tried to be cute ad stay in school and he went from Pick #1 to #11 and now has to play for the crappy Cardinals....I bet Adrian Peterson is also wishing he would have went Pro last year...look at him now....theres no guarantees....just like Tiki retiring at the end of the year...he's made his cash and is getting out at the top of his game before he suffers a life-altering injury - or risk of....can't really blame him I guess...
Oh, and I hate basketball anyway.....too many egos in general...not a team game anymore....I was raised a football fan and that is all anyone at LSU really cares about.....basketball is just a place holder in the years between football and baseball....
You'd be surprised at the number of people in Baton Rouge who could have cared less about LSU's basketball team making the Final Four this past year....there were more people keeping up with the football team's recruiting when the asketball team was playing last year.....
