Ben Simmons admitted he didn’t attend classes at LSU. Why should he?

you have the option to go pro right out of high school, or go to college. if you chose to commit to a college you go for 3 years

That's a terrible, poison pill rule in NBA terms. If you go to school and you dominate year one or two you can't go pro and risk injury. Players develop at different rates but a rule like that doesn't take that into consideration.

he still shouldve went to class. he could have had a serious injury or came up with bloodclots like chris bosh or something. maybe im wrong but it also kind of speaks to the work ethic of the kid.

He worked on his craft fakkit.

:childplease: No disrespect. Ppl like you are the reason the NCAA continue to be crooks in plain view.

He's being extorted. The only thing LSU care about is him playing. That's why these dude get degrees in Pottery to stay on the court.

Miss me with that "education is important" stuff. While his coach is a millionaire.

Nobody told him to go. Ben coulda went and played 6th graders in Australia like Dante Exum did and still gone high.

The NCAA offers the kind of shine and hoes on your dikk that only the NBA can give you. That's why the kids who don't give a damn about school still attend.
