Guys like Greg Oden, Kevin Durant, Michael Beasley, and Derrick Rose were NOT playing for Ohio St, Texas, Kansas St., and Memphis respectively. They were ONLY in college because David Stern said they HAD to be. Now, there are still some exceptions at the major college level (Tyler Hansborough, for example) and at the mid-major and lower levels, I'd agree with him. But not at all at the major college level.

It's an old quote. 1970's I think.
