Ncaa Vs. Nba Draft

The percentage of getting drafted is slim to none. While you’re betting on being drafted, you have to keep up your level of play throughout college and grades. Grades wouldn’t be a part of the list if it wasn’t valuable in life.

In today’s time and age a person volunteers to join any branch in the United States military. Draft is still around but ever since the Vietnam times no branch has had to draft any man or woman. Even back in the draft days they became available for drafting once they turned 18. Because they are fresh out of high school at this age is a key factor in the decision, meaning they are ready to face the next chapter in their lives that life threw at them.

“It tarnishes what we’re trying to do as coaches; it tarnishes the idea that kids are here to get an education.” Tad Boyle, Colorado men’s basketball head coach from USAtoday.com. With AAU tournaments and Prep Schools getting them ready for the next level, there is much young basketball talent that is considered “NBA ready” within their first year of college. College basketball players should be required to stay in college for at least three years. With all the hype surrounding them to become young superstars, some athletes and members of NBA front offices don’t realize how important two or three more years of college could be to them. The NCAA has a rule like this set on college football players, so the rule for basketball shouldn’t be any different. These extra three years could give these players more time to develop their skills, physique, and get an education,

         The NBA has seen many different players come and go throughout its 50 years of existence. In the last 15 years, there has been a boom of underclassmen leaving college early to enter the NBA draft. The last NBA draft in June, the top ten picks alone were underclassmen(Sports Illustrated, 264). Many more underclassmen are entering the NBA this year. The typical college career for the basketball players is playing until your junior year, then going pro. The NBA and the NCAA must do something in order to keep these young players in college.

Being recruited as a senior in high school for any sport seems like an opportunity of a lifetime. The athlete thinks they are going to college debt free because of the

The NBA “one-and-done” rule was first implemented in the summer of 2006. This new rule concerns the eligibility for recent high school graduates to forego their eligibility to play college basketball and enter straight into the NBA draft. The informed high school basketball players that they had to be at least one year removed from high school and had to be at least 19 years of age in order to partake in the NBA draft. Currently, the league does not require players to play NCAA basketball as you can be drafted after playing a season overseas. However, for many high school graduates attending college has becomes their only option in pursing the dream to one-day play in the NBA.

     College athletes are not forced into playing the sport that they have devoted their time to during their years in secondary education. They continue to play into the college level for their love of the game.

Basketball players entering the draft out of high school have been on the minds of NBA Commissioner David Stern and basketball fans across the world for the past few years. For several years, Stern has

If the PPL were to adopt the NFL draft protocol the PPL would need to protect themselves from antitrust laws. The first thing would be to establish a CBA and constitution that stated all the eligibility rules. The PPL should operate as a single entity league because it is such a new league. We must establish certain protocols that will help us determine the eligibility of our players. I think it is in the best interest of our league to create a minimum age requirement such as the NBA. We will establish that age at twenty. It does not matter how many years the athlete plays in college or when they decide to declare for the draft as long as they are twenty years of age they are eligible for the draft. This will allow us to be protected from lawsuits

The one and done rule does not say a player must attend college after high school but by it not letting a player attend the draft until one year has passed after their high school class graduated it

Soon later the draft would be switched to eighteen years old so they and the max age at thirty- seven this changed in November of 1942.they also had a draft like thing during the Civil War. Only

College student-athletes are amateurs and should be treated as such. Playing in the NCAA as an athlete means that you are an amateur and not a professional. “Students are not professional athletes who are paid salaries and incentives for a career in sports. They are students receiving access to a college education through their participation in sports, for which they earn scholarships to pay tuition, fees, room and board and other allowable expenses.” (Mitchell). These athletic programs allow the players to continue playing the sports they love at a higher level while receiving a higher education as well. College sports would turn into a bidding war, create a “free agency” and ruin the overall idea of amateurism that the NCAA was founded on if salaries were involved. Larger schools that make more revenue or have more money to offer could easily persuade the top recruits to come and play for them. This would create a bidding war and a certain type of “free agency” that is foreign to the NCAA because the idea of being an amateur

When we look at the athlete’s benefit, it provides little or no benefit to the players themselves who decide to go with the one-and-done rule. Players look at college as a stepping stone to the NBA, giving little or no importance to their studies because that’s what they need to do to get to the NBA. A freshman only has to pass two classes in the fall to remain eligible long enough to satisfy the one-and-done rule. While many players do take advantage of the opportunity to attend college, some stop attending classes altogether in the spring when their academic eligibility requirements can no longer catch up to them. Where is the incentive to future your education with this rule? While the NCAA says the rule makes sure that players

The One and Done rule was supposed to protect unprepared high school players from the difficult professional transition (Hughes 4). It would help prepare them better by playing one year of college before going pro. " The rule also gives players a chance to change their minds if they feel they are not ready" (McDiffett 12). They thought that the players going straight to the NBA were not very prepared and this would help with that. The players only have to go to college for one year to be able to go pro, but it used to be that the player could come straight out of high school into the professional league.
