But doesn't this only raise more questions than it answers? I mean, for one, is there a reason kids shouldn't at least begrudgingly take advantage of the free education? And I'm not talking about becoming 4.0 students all of a sudden, but rather taking easy classes and trying get that silly piece of paper at the end of the line that makes you 9000x more employable?

And if you're going to pay players, shouldn't they be paid their market value? I mean really you are going to pay a kid like Towns the same as a kid like kalee Joseph or, even more so, a kid that plays for American or Loyola, etc? That's not more fair at all.

But if you pay market value you destroy a lot of good hoops programs, essentially.

Regardless, I'm ok with players going to the NBA out of high school but I have a hard time buying this idea that these kids get 'used'. If they chose to not give a stuff about the education, then fine, there are other avenues. And I'm not a bitter, cynical old guy (or maybe I am) but I literally just mean if it's so unfair do something different.
