I'm not a sports blogger and I have almost no interest in professional sports, but these articles pointing out an alarming trend sparked my interest. From the article;

Players going to the NBA after just one year of college have been arrested at a 21% clip. Sophomore's have been arrested at a 46% rate. While percentages show that leaving college after three years creates a 40% chance of being arrested.

However, the rate drops significantly for college graduates. A mere 14% were arrested during the same time period and under the same research guidelines.

A 46% rate of being arrested is absurd and obscene. Compared to the NFL that has a overall 21% arrest rate. So why is this happening, and why are we creating essentially a class of rich thugs?
