Sounds good. However, the following question comes to my mind: What about
the athletes who leave college for the pros, but legitimately intend to
finish their education? This does actually happen (although certainly not
as often as it should) -- Adam Oates is an example of someone who
finished his degree even though he left college early to play in the
pros, if I'm not mistaken.
