Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1075035, member: 289"] I've always thought a combination of the old rule that NBA teams couldn't draft a player until his college class had graduated and the open market would be a good one. No one should have to attend college if they don't want to and players who are in college just to play football or basketball are going to be the source of your academic and even disciplinary problems. Let them go pro and learn the game in developmental leagues. College should be for people who want degrees, (some of whom could also be professional athletes). You can't get a degree in 2-3 years of a four year school. Let kids go pro immediately if they want to but if they choose to go to college, don't draft or sign them before their college class would graduate. [/QUOTE]
