I agree, but it's an acceptable risk. Football players have to stay 3 years, and have far more of a chance for injury during their college career than a basketball player. Even if one of them does suffer an injury during his first or second season in college, he can still stick around a few more years to hopefully get back into shape, get more experiance, and at the least he'll come out with a college education. If he gets hurt his first year in the pros, he still might have his rookie paycheck to live off of, but that most likely won't last him for his life.
I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons on this one.
