IMO, those who are going (those without a choice) will go, those who are not won't.
Re the title of this thread: Who said that Kanye pledged anything? The man and his writers are throwing out lyrics/rhymes. Who says it's true? It could be someone else's "story". 
If he pledged and "depledged" COOL. If he didn't COOL.

Okay...this is funny, to me. How about youth saw Bill Gates and thought "wow...a college drop-out is a billionaire...to hell with school."
Many rock stars for years have been anti-establishment, speaking out against school, and some have even promoted self-destructive and suicidal behaviors.
So, people need to give me a break in targeting hip hop artists for every damn thing. They aren't without fault, but let's talk about the artists in other genres who aren't serving as the best examples.
Yeah...Kanye is the "College Dropout," but people who have ANY type of guidance in their lives beyond music will be able to choose their paths accordingly.
Topic: I don't think Kanye dropped line or anything. His talking about BGLOs just means that BGLOs are very present on college campuses and in the black community. Unfortunately, we're only represented as being steppers, but I never heard his lyrics and felt like he was taking a jab at BGLOs or anything of the sort.
