Bob Huggins expresses frustration with players misled to go pro, deadline to declare

Bob Huggins laments that college basketball players feel compelled to leave a situation that's good for them, and he feels strongly that they should try to surround themselves with people who give sound advice.

The West Virginia University Mountaineers' head coach, who coached the Cincinnati Bearcats from 1989 to 2005, didn't hold back about the subject when Jon Rothstein asked him on the College Hoops Today podcast whether the benefits of receiving a scholarship to play college basketball and working toward earning a degree have ever been less valued.
