I have for a long time suggested that there be a way for high school athletes with great talent but no desire for a college education to enter the professional leagues. I called it the NBA (NFL) Lite League. This removes the “one and done dilemma” as well as pressure to somehow help the player remain academically eligible by any means possible. The G League and Bazley’s decision to take that option may be the start of a new option for really talented athletes.
What is the possible effect on college sports? The return of the real “student athlete”, much less pressure on coaches and colleges to “bend the rules” while offering the very talented athlete who has a sincere desire for a college experience and degree that option.
The college game will remain just as much fun,if not more, as all teams will draw from the same talent pool with many more four year players.
So good luck to Darius Bazley, you may have started a very good thing for college sports!
