i wouldn't watch an nba game if the were playing in my front yard.
the college game has even gone downhill since the 3 point line was installed. the college players today don't shoot or handle the ball well at all. the game has no flow anymore. the days of the old unlv "runnin" rebs are long gone.

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.
Only reason why Mayo wanted to go to USC is because he wanted to play b-ball in a large market so he can used to playing in a large market. He also wanted to get a head start on some endorsement deals.
