Yeah, it makes zero sense and likely only exists to line the NCAA’s and her member schools’ pockets which isn’t an inherently bad thing but does a disservice to the student-athlete because it only functions as a halfway house to the NBA in most cases instead of encourage them to obtain a viable education. The old system where high-school graduates could immediately enter the NBA if they’re ready was obviously superior and elevated college basketball and her rivalries as well as further develop budding players who didn’t reach that level of competence yet. Winner for all parties.

So why is it lining the NCAA pockets if the NBAPA is the ones who wanted and advocated for the rule? I swear people forget how this thing came about.

yeah nothing elevates college basketball quite like not having the top 10 or so players in the age group every year
