Now some athletes are going straight from high school to the NBA and skipping college altogether. This upsets fans because they don't get to see the best players. Fans will follow a team through bad years and good years but if a team has a good year many of its players consider leaving college for the big money in the National Basketball Association. Fans like to get to know a team and support it but become frustrated because of players leaving. The biggest reason for ball players to skip out on college and to enter into the draft is because of the big money.
Many players come from poor families and bad run down neighborhoods.
They want an education but they do not want to miss out on a chance to make money. They also do not have enough money to pay for things that scholarships will not pay for. They should get paid a limited amount to help them live and enjoy college. That way players can get an education and then, if they choose, enter the draft after graduation. The lack of money for the players will many times entice them to fall into illegal activities.
