Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 2426900, member: 920"] Why does the NCAA need to negotiate with the NBA player's association? The NBPA is, by definition, a collection of individuals who have nothing to do with the NCAA because they are ineligible. It's got nothing to do with "smart". The draft isn't going anywhere because the owners won't allow it to. Just because something is collectively bargained, doesn't mean its on the table. Otherwise you could just make arguments like "the owners should reduce the salary cap to $10mm per season per contract.... if they were smart" or "the players should have the ability to veto any trade at any time in any contract.... if they were smart". or "the players should make the league minimum $5M/year..... if they were smart" [/QUOTE]
