BasketballGuru24ParticipantWhat are the chances the league abolishes the one year of college rule ? Man people have showed concern to the rule and college coaches are really getting upset with players staying for one year and leaving the next.
If they do abolish the rule how many players eligible for the 2013 draft would skip college and go straight to the pros next year ?

llperezi seriously doubt they abolish it. The NBA owners currently likes the way it is. I’ve read that most players like not having guys come straight out of highschool as well. ANd the nba does not make decissions based on what colleges want.

Scottoant93ParticipantI dont think they get rid of the age limit, but if it does happen(10%) then I think a few top prospects enter the draft.questions will then rise again Are they really ready?

rileymcshea3ParticipantI think they should have to decide if they want to come out of highschool or not its there choice and if they think they need the money now or if they think its better for them to train with the pros instead of spending a year or how many years in college playing against less skilled players well thats there choice.

GrovesinternationalParticipantIt’s a hard postion. I feel that year of college does help development of players and it helps show teams how a prospect handles increased competition levels.
However, it’s not very fair that these guys cannot make those decisions for themselves at 18 years of age.
Tthen again, the rule doesn’t say that these players cannot go pro after graduating, it just says they aren’t eligible for the NBA (they can go pro in the d-league or other pro leagues) until they are one year removed, which is completely the nba’s decision as it is their league. And the US drinking age is still twenty one, so not all rights are gained at 18 anyway. Other employers in many fields won’t allow anyone to be employed in certain positions unless they have gone to college, and usually require an employee to have earnt a degree. At least the NBA doesn’t require them all to complete their four years and get a degree.
just because someone is good at something and is of legal age, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have to fill certain requirements to get into the best jobs or postions (in this case, requirements being a year of college and the best jobs being the NBA), they are always able to take lesser positions and not fill those requirements for higher positions.
