Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 260244, member: 191"] 1st, let me say I don't believe in the age restrictions placed on athletes. Against it 100%. Everyone has a right to pursue their dream. They have no guarantee that they will succeed. However, there is a solution which helps the schools, the kids and the NBA. The NBA should do the following: For every semester that a draftee has successfully completed and been eligible by NCAA standards, (enough credits, on course to graduate, etc., ) the kid earns $100,000.00. If a kid comes in with a degree, he gets $1,000,000.00. This comes from the league, not the teams, so as not to impact draftability. This is non-refundable. Therefore, a kid like Dion makes an extra $100,000.00 just finishing out the semester. (there could even be incentives to get degrees after you leave school, within say 5 years. [/QUOTE]
