Seems to me it would favorably taint the numbers if they aren't included.

You're assuming that all students who go pro early would not have graduated anyway had they been 'forced' to stay in school - while this is not really an unfamiliar assumption, it's really not fair at all, and reinforces negative (albeit somewhat prevalent) stereotypes about these athletes . . . not all of them are Andy Katzenmoyer. It's really not fair to assume this.
