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.

I think you stated this in another thread and I pointed out how it creates an advantage for rich colleges and should not be allowed. If they can make money off of something like that there is nothing stopping a booster from giving them $50,000 for a signature or whatever the going rate is to get them to come to a college. It would create to much of an advantage for schools with deep pockets.

The only thing I think should change is if you get an injury there is no way you can lose your scholarship and you should be able to eat and drink as much as you can stuff in your face.

Cap it at $50,000 then, tax it, the end. Thats all you have to do and all of this shit works itself out.
