I'm guessing the kids who are itching to go pro are emphasizing "program" over everything else.

The devils advocate asks if the % of college players with pro opportunities is so low, why is "program" rated so high for so many? Is it...

the aura of playing for the best program that mystic?

the competitiveness of quality athletes that pushes them to "go for the best" regardless of the statistical reality?

the fault of coaches who convince a player that he can take him to the next level?

something else?
