In the old days, a loss like Monday’s would be a rallying call to a group of 18 and 19 year olds. Today, it’s time to talk about going to the NBA, and compute how much your agent might get you.

I really don’t get it. Here’s a quote from a day BEFORE the big game: Daequon Cook:

Cook said - especially if Ohio State wins tonight - at least some freshmen likely will leave.

“I won’t say we won’t come back, but it would be very tough if we accomplished our big goal in college ball,” Cook said. “We’ll all sit down and talk about it. We usually all make the same decision, but it will be very tough for some of us to come back. But we could have something to prove, like we won one year, but let’s see the progress of us playing together two years.”

And I thought graduating was the big goal in college! Greg Oden’s great game will ring the cash register…but Daequon Cook???? Hurt me.

The sting is still smarting for fans, but obviously the hurt is soothed by the prospect of dancing dollar bills.

I, for one, urge these guys to stay one more year and get better. They may not win the big prize, but they’ll all remember the day they decided to overcome adversity one last time.
