I'm not saying it's totally gone, but it doesn't happen as often, if I had the choice between college and going to the pros, I'd take the pros each and every time, because if you're smart about it, get some good people around you and don't squander your money you will live off of it for the rest of your life.
Take Shaq for instance, he invested in an auto-body place, and because of his status he gets a ton of celebs to drop huge money on him to customize their cars, that's a smart investement.....LeBron James will get a huge contract, and will have sponsers lined up around the block wanting him to sign with them. It would be a dumb move for him to go to college, because those 3 or 4 years will only give him a chance to get injured and never get to the NBA.
