The difference between college and the professional world in CS versus basketball are quite different:

> In college basketball, you play basketball. In pro basketball, you play basketball.

> In college CS, you write theoretical solutions to theoretical problems. In the pro world you write real solutions to real problems.

That aside the argument and article are weak at best. I'm having trouble understanding what exactly we're supposed to take away from this aside from "College good! Skipping college bad! In basketball, and therefore CS!".
