probably because they forsee more money in a professional job instead of going to college and being a "normal" person. This is not always true, there are some great jobs you can have if you go to college as well.
Considering that the NBA drafts out of the college system, the way you get into college (highs school diploma vs, GED) isn't going to matter much. They are going to evaluate your college ball before making a draft selection.
If it is a Junior College (JuCo) and part of the NJCAA, then yes, but the two years you play at a Juco I believe only counts for one year on the NCAA level granted a NCAA school wants you to play for them.
I love sports, but if I'm honest with you, unless they have a future in professional sports, they don't benefit at all. Sports can be a distraction from studies, and those important lessons about teamwork and being unselfish were hopefully learned at a much earlier age than in college.
I disagree with this!! Even if you are not going to be a professional there are many benefits to sports in college. First, the exercise. Everyone can always use exercise! According to Harvard Grad School of Public Health students who exercise 4 hours per week reduce their chances of heart attack, stroke, back problems, osteoporosis, and many other health problems by 50%. Sports also increases self esteem, improves grades, gives one better social skills and allows them to be a team player, gives opportunities for scholarships, and allows the students to travel. There are many more benefits--this is just to throw some out there.
Theoretically, you could be a sportswriter without a degree, depending on where you chose to write about sports and whether you had something else on the side to pay the bills. Writers can start from anywhere. However, good preparation would generally be a 4-year degree in Journalism (some schools have a sports specialization).

Colleges are put into divisions based upon the size of the school. They are also put into divisions on the size of their sports organizations.
The three most popular college sports in the US are basketball, football and soccer. However there are others, swimming is very competitive, there are also rugby union, lacrosse and volleyball. There are also relatively new sports that are popular, such as Ultimate Frisbee.

no, once you start school somewhere you have five years to use up four years of eligibility. you can however go to another school for one year and play if you have only spent four years at your previous school. ex. greg paulus duke went to Syracuse for one year to play football
For some incomprehensible reason, DISH Network and DirecTV do not include FOX College Sports channel. Maybe, with all the money we pay for programming, they will give us the channels we will actually watch and maybe get rid of a few of the dozens of shopping and infomercial channels.
Kentucky 1st= 1900Wins+ UNC 2nd= 1900Wins+ ?
Jakie robinson excelled in three sports at college it was basketball hokey and football
College sports are typically more watched than pro sports. This is because there are a lot of college sports fans.
That's entirely dependent upon the particular university's disciplinary policy. The NCAA bylaws only govern behavior that affects the integrity of the sport -- i.e., cheating, betting, performance-enhancing drugs, improper gifts or benefits, etc.
