University of Maryland basketball player Choi Jin-Soo is doing what many college basketball players have done previously and that is leave school to go professional.  Choi Jin-Soo is entering the NBA…. uh, no.  Correction: He’s leaving an NCAA Division 1 basketball program from one of the elite conferences (ACC) to play in the ultra-competitive professional league of the Korean Basketball League (KBL).  That’s just a notch above the Korean church summer leagues that do fund raisers.  He cited the difficulties of studying and playing basketball.  I don’t know what his major was but he could’ve chosen what many solid student-athletes excel in and that’s the ever popular “communications” major.

“It is really hard to do both ― play basketball and study,” Choi told Korean basketball magazine Jump Ball.
“Studying causes me a lot of stress. I only want to play basketball, I don’t want to have to think about studying,” added Choi.

Good luck Choi Jin-Soo.  You’ll be missed at Maryland.  You could have been the second Korean person to play in the NBA.
