Message: [QUOTE="cap10dingus, post: 4761237, member: 9751"] Why does it have to be over their calling? Why can't prioritizing a college degree be "prioritizing" and not always "top priority." I think you are knowingly redrawing the lines of the conversation on this one but the answer is no. NO I think they should choose school or the NBA. If they want to go and have the ability they should be allowed the option to go straight into the NBA. Who suggested anywhere they are forced to stay for 4 years? Nobody suggested forcing anyone to do anything. On the contrary actually. I suggested incentivizing players that are going to college to stay at the school they committed to and rewarding them for graduating. I don't know that this thought is relative at all to Cooper or Zion leave it as is or change it. Where they are done wrong is the "waste" of a year to fake through being a college student when everyone already knows where they belong. Now maybe they would see the value in spending a year in college WITHOUT being forced into that or Ignite etc. Many people here argued that we can't withhold their money but to me that's somewhat a silly argument because realistically by telling a legal adult they aren't allowed to go into the NBA you are doing the exact same thing? It's the chicken or the egg. Don't make the kids that don't want to be there go to college. Reward graduation if they do decide to go even if it's 10 years later. Reward loyalty to a program. It's not as simple as I put it by any means but it's a thought. A thought that has nothing to do with Flagg being forced to stay 4 years, if you were actually paying attention. [/QUOTE]
