Farm, your explanation makes sense, but it is example number 346213 of how the NCAA doesn't give a crap about the "student" in student-athlete.  NBA pros who go home from the bubble can crash in their own home and don't have school the next day (and their season is over; they don't have to do anything the next day).  They are paid handsomely for their inconvenience.   College basketball players, unless they are on spring break, theoretically have to worry about school.  How in the hell are they supposed to do that when they arrive in Corvalis at 4 am?

Again, this just reflects the fact that the NCAA views them as "basketball players" and not students.
