Why should they want to sit for one or two years when the sport glorifies the one and dones and Calipari's classes of 5 or 6 one year 5star mercenaries.    You can't have it both ways.    The "good" players should be able to go where they can play right away and then leave for the NBA, but the next level should or two levels removed should go be patient and be glad they might get a chance by their junior or senior years.

The NCAA should do a couple of things in my view:
  1.   Eliminate the rule that makes players that enter the draft forfeit their eligibility.    The rule is just stupid!!
  2.   Decide whether it wants to be a quasi professional basketball association or sports that played by athletes that are attending school for the purpose of getting a degree.    If the former then remove all of the restrictions to transferring and make the kids free agents every  year.    If the later put some real penalties in place for schools that take kids that are not interested in getting a degree.    In other words if you are going to leave early you don't belong in college.      This is easier for me to say if the distinction was between the one and done and the four year player.....I'm not  sure how you deal with the kid that wants to go pro after his junior year.
