The NBA doesn't answer to the NCAA, they'll just say no. What benefit is it to the NBA to give up their one year free preview of young talent?In dealing with the current issues, I would imagine that the committee will determine it only hurts the college game in trying to deal with agents, etc. They probably end up asking the NBA to rescind the policy, and possibly the NCAA adopts a 2 or 3 year rule similar to the Football 3 year rule.
What do you suggest?#1 point of discussion should be how do we allow players to profit from the same industry that is making everyone around them exceptionally wealthy.

What the heck is nonscholastic basetball? I'm guessing they are going to codify UNC***'s practice as state of the art and then granddfather them in so they can get by without punishing UNC***.
- The relationship of the NCAA national office, member institutions, student-athletes and coaches with outside entities, including:
Apparel companies and other commercial entities, to establish an environment where they can support programs in a transparent way, but not become an inappropriate or distorting influence on the game, recruits or their families.The NCAA’s relationship with the NBA, and the challenging effect the NBA’s so-called “one and done” rule has had on college basketball, including how the NCAA can change its own eligibility rules to address that dynamic.
- Nonscholastic basketball, with a focus on the appropriate involvement of college coaches and others.
- Agents or advisors, with an emphasis on how students and their families can get legitimate advice without being taken advantage of, defrauded or risk their NCAA eligibility.
Creating the right relationship between the universities and colleges of the NCAA and its national office to promote transparency and accountability. The commission will be asked to evaluate whether the appropriate degree of authority is vested in the current enforcement and eligibility processes, and whether the collaborative model provides the investigative tools, cultural incentives and structures to ensure exploitation and corruption cannot hide in college sports.

Needs to be a commission with the NBA players association, not the NBA. The players want the ability to skip college and go pro. Not sure why the NBAPA won't let it happen.The NBA doesn't answer to the NCAA, they'll just say no. What benefit is it to the NBA to give up their one year free preview of young talent?
Such a rule would have no teeth, how would it be enforced? You can't make a kid stay in college.Especially, if they implement a 2 year commitment rule or something, which would basically make the NBA rule meaningless for college basketball players.

Nobody making large sums of money off the backs of others ever voluntarily opts to share that money without being forced to do so. It is a major reason why the Civil War was fought and why we have unions today.#1 point of discussion should be how do we allow players to profit from the same industry that is making everyone around them exceptionally wealthy.
That would be an NBA rule, the post I was responding to was saying the NCAA should impose a commitment rule to keep players in college, like MLB and NFL.Make an age rule? 20 years old.
It works with nfl/ college football

Because the NBA would have to go along with it, they have shown no interest in doing so so far.If they did it for college football why not for basketball?
What if we offer them a free college education? In addition we can provide NBA hopefuls with a premium stage for NBA scouts to evaluate them. Most of their games will also be nationally televised giving them even more opportunities to be seen by the NBA.#1 point of discussion should be how do we allow players to profit from the same industry that is making everyone around them exceptionally wealthy.

We can also provide them with free room and board, free meal cards, exclusive access to tutors, and an elite staff of strength and conditioning trainers along with a HOF coach.
I think if we can give them all of that we might have an equal exchange of services.
I like that idea as a potential way to put pressure on the nba. Not sure how else you could possibly influence them (nba) in to doing what's best for the college game.The NCAA floated the idea of returning to freshmen ineligibility several months ago. I don't believe they were really serious, but wanted to gauge the NBA's reaction. Given the scandal they now face, I think they should probably move forward with a vote on the measure. Tell the NBA, "Fine. You don't want to play ball? You can figure out some other way to evaluate 19-year old talent because we're not going to showcase it for you any longer."
I'm old enough to remember when freshmen not playing varsity was a thing and college basketball was just fine.

Bingo! Should be easy enough to allow college athletes to profit from their own likeness. They should be allowed to be featured in paid advertising, sell autographs, and such. Even if the money they earn has to be put into escrow until the day they leave school.

Because that cheap younger labor pushes out existing veterans, who are actually represented by the NBAPA. The union doesn't represent the wishes of high school players, even though the agents that are already forming relationships with them are definitely pushing for it and DO have power with the union.
