You can have kids go to Japan, they can go to Greece, they can go to the Philippines, they can go to Russia. You can go anywhere in the world and you can play and make a living. And I think for a lot of these kids, they are getting a chance to do something they love.” … Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan, ruminating about the seductive lure of big money for college-aged players. … Florida Today.com, 6-24-09  . . . . and more  …  "What's happened in a lot of respects is that a degree immediately is getting devalued. And what I mean by that is here's a kid that's 19, 20, 21 years old. I've got about a seven or eight-year window to try and make some money. I couldn't make this type of money if I had my degree."
