Finally.....
Finally someone cuts through the bullsh!t and tells it the way that it is. The universities rent these kids for a year. And if you don't think that the word "rent" is appropriate, then you're a heckuva lot more naive than I think you are. The universities provide a stage for the kid to hone his talent a little while showing it off to future employers. The player provides the basketball-playing acumen to justify his rental. Both sides win. Anyone that thinks that actual academics play any kind of role in this process is a complete doofus imo.
T'is the system.
