I love it and agree with Ben, instead lets pay the players.

That's a stupid idea that won't change anything.

Do you think colleges can pay more than NBA teams for talent? Whatever a college offers will pale in comparison, and you're right back where you started: One and done.

The solution is for players to have options after high school besides just college. The problem with that is that the NCAA doesn't want to lose these blue chip players to a development league or the NBA for one reason - the popularity of March Madness would plummet without these hired guns.

I say frick 'em, college basketball should be played amongst college students, not mercenaries.
