Cuban's D League Proposal

[David 76]

Agree. Except for the part about having a baby. (I think you are responsible even if you are only 17, 16, 15...
But the lousy part of this is the NBA gets a free minor league system and kids who aren't named LeBron have to fake an interest in college (while colleges make believe they are students)

I have no problem with a 0, 2 or 3 year requirement but the OAD rule makes a mockery of the NCAA.

It's not an NCAA rule so what are they supposed to do about it?

They ccan't do anything. I don't blame the NCAA but it doesn't mean they aren't a mockery

What does that have to do with what I said?

Just giving my own opinion, which was a bit like yours.

The mockery is the entrance standards and the classes.

But I'm OK with OAD if there were actual standards which can be instituted but will never be. OAD is no different than 10% of the freshman population dropping out after the first year. 5 more basketball players OAD is no different than 500 other students being OAD. No one questions the goals of the university just because 500 students drop out. So OAD isn't the problem. The problem is the sham that goes on that enables OAD for basketball.
