Well here is what my solution would be. It's a bipartisan solution to make NCAA and Players happy. Players want to be paid (I don't agree with it but it is what it is) and NCAA wants kids to stay longer.

College Basketball players will get paid. Based off playing time. But you don't receive any of that money until you graduate. You get your degree then you get the money that was racked up throughout your career. However if you declare for the NBA draft then the money that you earned at college is now foreited. So you have to graduate to get money. Allows players to get payed and will allows young men to stay longer and earn their degrees. As for money if you average less than 10 minutes you get  25,000 dollars for that year, 10-20 minutes makes 50,000, 20-30 minutes makes 75,000 and 30+ makes 100,000. So if you graduate as a senior and average 30+ minutes all 4 years then you make 400,000 and earn a degree.

Not only would this be a bipartisan deal but it would be good for basketball as you won't have all the top recuits going to one school because they will need playing time in order to make more money. For instance Jordan Tucker never would have gone to Duke cause he would have been playing less. It will allow recruits to be more evenly distributed throughout the teams.

What's are your guys thoughts? Any thing you'd do different???
