We know the players who are good enough to go to the nba right out of high school have to use college basketball as a spring board. And most, just like Myles Turner make no secrets about doing so. When Myles announced that he was turning pro, he called himself a UT alum and was criticized by those people who wanted him to stay. But when Jordan Speith won the masters those same people were quick to claim him as a UT alum even though he stayed for about as long as Myles did. If that's not hypocrisy at the highest level then I don't know what is.
Again, we know why those people do that. Because they want the basketball team to do well, so they can brag about it. Which is, yes, a selfish agenda. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if those people were just honest about why they want the players to stay. Just like Myles and other players make no secret about why they are going to college. I talked about how i was one of those people with a selfish agenda when Daniel Gibson turned pro, i also forgot to mention when PJ Tucker turned pro. If you are offended by the words selfish agendas then you must know it's true. If it doesn't describe you, then it shouldn't bother you. I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me, you're entitled to your opinion. I'm just giving you my opinion.
