We've always had kids drop out, whether for sports, acting, business.  So has Harvard, so has every school.  That is not new or newsworthy.  The part I would like to understand better is how the faculty are investing money in these kids in their department.  Is that not a little bit like if David Shaw was the agent for a few of his players, in addition to his responsibilities running the team?  Then some of those kids start going pro early.  Does that not strike you as... complicated?
