I hate to be a spoil sport, but I've always thought that the idea of high schoolers going to college and playing basketball in college was foremost to get a FOUR year college education so that they'd be better prepared to compete in the "outside world"......not to "play" at education for one year and then go into a field with NO long term prospects of success. Most of those who go into that chosen field of Pro basketball DO NOT MAKE IT and are spit out to sink or swim without the tools necessary to compete in life. We are doing a terrible injustice to our youth.

My fandom of Indiana basketball dates back to 1953, when I enrolled at IU. I served as Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior basketball manager under coach Branch McCracken and my interest in The Hurryin' Hoosiers has never flagged.
