College basketball has to change significantly if it wants to remain relevant.  Losing 2-5 superstars each year will not hurt college basketball but losing the top 50 prospects from each class will completely diminish the game.  The D-League offers aspiring NBA players the ability to work on their game full-time without the distraction of classes.  There are good coaches in the D-League, every system is NBA oriented and the practice time is unlimited.  The main problem with the D-League is that it is not revenue positive and the NBA doesn't want to donate millions of dollars toward sustaining that type of system.  College basketball makes lots of money but refuses to pay any of the players.  Money has to flow directly to the college players soon for the NCAA to continue to attract high level basketball talent.  Once the allure of future NBA talent leaves college basketball, so will the casual fan.  Lose the casual fan and college basketball falls further into a niche audience and loses a lot of TV revenue.
