I agree with some of what you suggest, and am definitely frustrated with what the one-and-done has done to CBB. That said, I just don't see it as fair for the players to be forced to stay two years when the money is calling. Say Melo had to stay two years, great, but then he blows out his knee and has an Oden like career.

And definitely is an issue in general, not just one player. I just think that we would like it generalized for all, when circumstances are different for many.

One thing I'm absolutely for is figuring out a way to compensate athletes for all the money they make the NCAA and their University. I just don't know how you differentiate who gets what amount compared to another and do some get none. I've never been one who thought the scholarship is payment enough for the big revenue earning athletes. They directly make money because of their play, personality, etc.

Players coming back after being in the NBA I can't wrap my head around the logistics of that one. They would have an even bigger developmental edge, even if they just played in the D-League. Does the NBA team retain their rights? I assume like an International player, but weird to go up then back down unless they can set up some revolving minor league system that doesn't involve going back to college.
