IMHO, one of the good things about sports is that it gets a lot of kids exposure to education they wouldn't otherwise get.
For a lot of these kids, 50% of their peers don't graduate from high school. And the only reason they graduate is that they want to play bb in college and maybe NBA.
LBJ or KG could have gone pro out of 10th grade.
The exposure they get to college is a good thing and it also has an impact on the attitude of their peers.
The more of them that graduate from college, even when the course of study is weak, the better.
