yeah...i say make players decide out of high school: NBA or 4 YEARS of college.

if they are truly good enough to get drafted out of high school...let them go.

but i think the truly special players are what makes NCAA bball...so just saying let the top 100 go straight to the NBA will not fix the LOW QUALITY level that the sport has sunken to.  ZION electrified the sport...it used to be 4 year seniors that were GOOOD ...now those players are few and far between.

Only realistic option is pay players and give them more benefits and rewards to stay.  but that opens a whole can of worms that will suck and come with maybe worse problems than there are now.

There must be a equal payment to all players on scholarship across the board.  otherwise, it will be a race to pay as much as possible. very hard to enforce.

one of the graet things used to be watching how players would develop over time and how squads would build over consecutive seasons...now its like starting from scratch every year with weaker players than ever.

those who watched in the 80s and 90s know the game is not close to what it once was. and there might not be a fix.

somehow the NBA needs to be involved and care what happens to NCAA...if the 2 entities could work together on making NCAA strong it could work. right now, as separate orgs, there is not a cohesive situation that ends up hurting NCAA (and the sport, imo)
