Why are professional sports different from other jobs? If you can defend your country at 18, you should be able to make a living too.
What about kids that don't qualify for college?
Sebastian Telfair lived in a project where 2 people were killed in his lobby. Why should he have to go to college to get out of the projects?
The NCAA's ridiculous rules make it difficult for the gifted athlete to resist professional careers. Colleges make all the money and give nothing back to athletes. Scholarships are only for one year at a time and can be rescinded. An athlete can get injured and end up out of school and penniless. Many athletes are steered into cupcake classes to maintain eligibility and never come close to earning a degree.
Sebastian Telfair can easily afford to go to college after his NBA career is over. Or start his own college.
