I have always felt this to be the case. For the most part nobody in the world gives much a crap about about American Football or Basketball. Basketball to a lesser extent. College just represent a free farm system for the NFL and NBA.

The violence of football though is unique in that it does not really lend itself to long developmental cycles. Most NFL careers are far to short and this is why athleticism is so coveted and why our views on soccer development are so skewed towards athletic attributes like size, speed and strength.

Basketball on the other hand would benefit much more from longer development cycles. While basketball relies heavily on athleticism as well I would have to believe that during college years a more professional level dedication would be better for players in the long run. Kobe and LeBron have certainly proven that college ball doesn't matter. While they are outliars a true minor league system would be better for basketball players than college.
