There has been a great deal of bitching about whether the 1 year rule was good for players, college ball, and/or the NBA.
College basketball needs to really think hard about whether they should give a crap about the NBA draft. Since most of the players are going pro in something other than [basketball], they need to focus on providing opportunities to those who want to be in college.
Here's how you do it.
- If you don't hire an agent, and never receive improper benefits, then you can come back to college and use any remaining eligibility.
That's it. That's the rule.
Who cares if a guy enters the draft? Why does that have crap to do with college? It only does because the NCAA cozied up to the NBA. Anyone who enters the draft should be able to come back if they decide it isn't worth it to them to go pro. The NBA will hate this. It would be a nightmare for them because it solidifies the role of the agent. I mean, what NBA team would dare risk a first round spot on a guy hasn't hired an agent?
