Bash them for what? The only thing that bothers me is a kid can't make money off of his own name. I don't think they should be paid, but I don't think they should be prohibited from making money from signing things, appearances, selling things that they won (rings, trophies etc)
Other that that, how is it the NCAA's fault that the NBA imposes an age limit? If you don't want to get paid, don't play in the ****ing NCAA. Do what Emmaneul Muddiay did, go play in China, or Europe. Don't give me this shit that the NCAA is taking advantage of these kids, these kids are getting free promotion that money can't buy. Deal with it or don't ****ing play. You signed up for it, nobody is making you do shit. It's not the NCAA's fault that the NBA doesn't want to put money into a minor league.
If ANYTHING the NCAA gets screwed. They get faced with the difficult task of governing the league where one-and-dones don't really have any intention of going to class. They can't tell kids they can't come to college. They have to run the NBA minor league, for the NBA, for free.
