Yes, why even go to college? Just go straight to the NBA. Maybe the NBA should start farm teams like major league baseball has.
The NBA should just go to the route of baseball...start a junior league out of high school...have a ‘A’ and ‘B’ league...telling the kid if he hasn’t been picked up by the 4th year...he’s finished in the league and will never make the NBA.
Ninety-nine per cent of college basketball players do not make it to the NBA. For that ninety-nine, they may as well get an education.
The NBA has a farm system of sorts; it is called the D League (development).
That’s the solution !
Colleges & universities can license their names to the teams so the revenue streams continue. (If there are any, many football programs lose money !)
