The colleges are being used by the NBA and NFL, but don't want to get out of the entertainment business. I suspect that many big-time college athletic directors would like to roll the clock back to the 1970s, when few players could come out early, but are prevented from doing so on account of those pesky antitrust laws.

Replete with "misstatements" and elisions and retracted and redacted and revoked assertions.--Carl Bernstein on HRC's record.

  somewhat. More players coming out early lessens the draw for the schools. But, I really don't see this as a big problem because I have very little sympathy for someone who goes to college so that they can play ball. Maybe thay get a bad deal, maybe they get fortune beyond belief or reason, the whole thing is a crock. But I do love to watch it.
