IMO, either make them able to go straight or go to school for 3 years like football.

That affects 1% of D-I college basketball players. The problem is that it's the top 1%. I don't want to marginalize its impact, but simply putting all the onus on the one-and-done rule ignores how any kid who plays on an AAU team is taught: get mine. That's inimical to the very essence of basketball.
