I really don't care if they are immature. They are of working age and should be able to be compensated for what they can offer. It's not fair to them to force them to go to school (at taxpayer expense, mind you) when they have no interest in doing so. There are plenty of kids who graduate high school and join the work force. I don't understand why when that job is basketball or football, they can't. It is age discrimination, anti-American, etc. If a player is wrong about his ability, it happens. Just like if a guy who would have been a top 5 pick goes to school and blows out his knee could happen. There's no reason people shouldn't be allowed to strike it rich when they have the chance.
