YeahI still haven't seen an argument to dissuade me from my position. If the kid leaves before year 4 for a reason other than graduation, he pays the school for the unused portion of his scholarship + the costs of recruiting a player to replace him. If he's a one and done, that's 3 year's tuition + substantial recruiting costs he'll have to pay. If he wants to play in the pros, do it right after high school. He's on his own then. Most will fail, but they'll learn a life lesson.
Yeah for some players it's obvious and for some it's not.I believe a kid should be able to go straight to nba. Problem is this though: lotta kids think they are better than they are. Its an epidemic . Pretty sure the rule in part helps protect some dumb decisions. I certainly think if players could go straight to NBA, it would help even the playing field. No doubt .
But with a little creativity, contracts and minor league infrastructure,
A better solution is definitely possible.
The only sport it doesn't make sense for is football.
