No reason he can't finish the semester and go pro early. Season starts In NBA next season. Have no problem with him or any athlete going pro early. Often a bad choice but certainly a legitimate one. My problem is that this was clearly premeditated to enroll this semester and quit after the tournament. Does anyone really think he would have dropped out Monday if ND won and was going to the final four? Of course not. He would have pretended to be in school one more week and dropped out the after finals. My problem is with DJ or any athlete being a pretend student in order to play a sport. This happens all the time elsewhere. Did not used to happen here. I think ND should be better than that. Regarding his adverse circumstances, all the reason to finish the semester. See no advantage to quitting with a month to go - only downside for him. But I would guess he has done almost no course work this semester and has been planning this for months.
