I'm not sure why you accuse me of "small" thinking. Duke and Trevon each kept their end of the bargain. Neither owes the other anything at this point.
There are plenty of deserving, prospective students that don't play basketball who could use some assistance to get into a great school like Duke and ultimately graduate.
I love college basketball but don't see that Duke's mission is to give every one and done an additional three years tuition at the end of their pro career.
Fell free to disagree but I'd appreciate it if you would spare the condescending comments.

I don't know on what terms early departure players can come back to Duke and finish their degree, but it seems to me to be a mutually beneficial thing. It's a good look for Duke Basketball and enhances the "brand". Same can be said for the former player.
[I'll also admit not knowing whether a returning early departure player is taking a regular student's spot; if they are, I can see it's a tougher call, but it might still be worth it to let the player come back ... if they can do the work like a regular student. Then they are, in effect, the regular, deserving student you mention].

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
That was my initial thought as well, but in his 25 minutes Trevon had only 3 assists (against 3 turnovers). Four of his teammates also had at least three assists.
Not the best showing in this game for Trevon, though I'm hoping he does well and is able to make it back to the NBA soon.
