I can also tell everyone that Allen Iverson withdrew from all of his classes the day after Georgetown was eliminated from the NCAA tournament in 1996.
The NCAA should penalize schools for garbage like that.
Now that the D-League exists, I'm more convinced than ever that scholarships should be a two year commitment and the school should lose it for the next two years if the player departs with less than acceptable academics during/after that time.

That is between those individuals and their schools and coaches. I do not care who went to class or took advantage of their opportunity. The vast majority of the players graduating are not going to ever be an NBA player. If you are not drafted in the first round or drafted in the top 30, you are not guaranteed anything at that level.
