I don't think you can place responsibility on a school to predict when a player may want to leave for whatever reason.  What happens if a kid decides to transfer because he is unhappy with playing time, when a kid decides to not do his homework, when he decides to slap his girlfriend around and gets expelled?  Does the school then pay what would amount to a penalty? 
 
Any changes would have to be on the NBA's end.  The pro game is definitely a better one when players enter having already matured and learned to play a team game with/against other players of similar skill level.  The exceptions may be the Lebrons or Dwight Howards, but they are few and far between and I could make an argument that they would've benefited from some college coaching too.  Colleges can't make kids stay, but an employer has the right to require whatever credential or prior work experience they choose.  When the NBA decides it's in their best interest, and can convince the player's association to go along with it, a change will be made.
