I do understand college athletes, a lot more than you think. I am aware that some of them do not finish their college tenure, but I am also aware that some do. I've been around college basketball my entire life, and have seen quite a few college athletes complete their academic tenure and get drafted soon after.

that's whats up. On the real. I think goin' to college is the better thing to do. but on the other side. they see it as...why go to college. when we can go to the NBA and be set for life. You know? no one enters the nba planning to be injured. If it does happen and your a superstar. the money you've already made you should be set for life...

good rule....but how the fuck is it racist?

So you think that since this rule has been adopted by the NBA, players will stop graduating college before going pro?

The young kids are the reason the NBA got trounced in the '04 Olympics.

because the majority of young prospects that would be getting drafted are black and America has been accused of being scared of the whole young black rich and powerful thing... im not saying i necessarily agree with that, but thats the thoughts...

Or maybe it's just a ploy to improve any low statistics involving African-Americans and education, if any, and people have let their ignorance get the best of them.

so? the majority of american players in the nba are black....just plain knowledge that most of the young prospects will be too

if they were good enough to get drafted by the NBA right outa highschool, u better believe they are gettin a full ride no matter where they are goin.... and theyll take courses like Basketweaving 101 if they want (and yes, this was pretty much a course that they taught to half the Florida Gators football team back in the day)

LOL, No.

I think theyve made this rule cause the young players today have no drive for the game....its like theyll get paid millions, and cause of the wages they recieve...they couldnt give a flyin fuck about the game....s'all to do with makin them want to succeed at what they doin, and college will help you do that & I dont think its racist at all to whoever came up with that dumb Opinnon.

for real tho....

america is gettin fucked up for the younger players gettin drafted, take over in england fr example, they train alot harder and have alot more drive for the game because of that, and thats because of goin thru college and training/playing games on a regular basis.
