therefore making it more important to not only be an athlete...but a STUDENT-athlete. I agree with it, because just cause you fye in high school doesn't mean you'll be fye in the pros (example Darius Miles, Gerald Green,etc.) Everybody isn't a LeBron, rephrase that, NOBODY is a LeBron...even Carmelo said he knew he wasn't ready if he came outta high school.
If your serious about it, hone your skills at the level BEFORE the next level (college) and prove that you can do it there. Supposedly all the ones who are "good enough to jump straight to the pros" should be getting scholarship offers from here and there, making it so they wouldn't have to worry about PAYING for school, like most of the peopel who attend that huge D1 school. Go to SCHOOL get your education, become a better player and whenever your through with basketball go on yo a career...don't become another "has-been" story....its too many of those as it is....

i feel you about honing your game if you arent good enough but some folks are....i feel like there shouldn't be a restriction because pre 2003 it was only a few who were of that caliber to even get a serious look...and for the part you put in bold you missed where i say if you blow your knee out...what if lebron would have went to an ohio state and his knee blew...what would come of him then
the teachers would stop changing his grade(we all know they do it)
he would loose his scholarship for academic reasons
he's from the hood so his folks can't afford to send him to college
maybe he gets financial aid and goes in to debt after graduating 8 years later.
again 1 year in the nba and a player can send a family of 10 to all the schools in the swac and get a quaility education and still have money left to invest.
he can only gain one scholarship for hiself
this is america and the NCAA should have nothing to do with the NBA
my shift is over so if i can't still my neighbors internet signal i will be back in the mornin

I understand where your coming from about not limiting those who might be ready for the NBA, but most high school aren't ready physically (most are 6'5 165 drippin wet lol jk) or mentally.
The whole thing about "what if lebron blew out his knee", that just furthered my point on the importance of education. Most top high school basketball players skated through classes because of their "potential" at the other level...
prime example
this year Lance Stephenson, one of, if not, the top players in the country, who had been scouted since he prolly hit puberty has had trouble getting into schools because of his troubled behavioral past.
Brandon Jennings went overseas because he couldn't get into college ACADEMICALLY....
that right there shows that those kids who are excellent hoopers shouldn't be allowed to skate through classes, they need to earn their grades like everyone else. Even at the next level, where ive seen this personally at a certain PWC in Houston, TX (lol), there were "tutors" in the back of the class taking notes for the football players and even doing work for them just so they could play, when they were too incompetent to do it themselves......
my thing is, i was hoping this rule would get the kids to start focusing NOT ONLY on basketball, but academics as well...trust me, its possible
I graduated top ten percent of a predominantly white school (where i had only been two years), was able to walk on with football at a D1 school, track at DII and bout to do football this year at another DII school (yeh expenses caused me to move around alot)...all with only one year of varsity football and two years of varsity track

get your point and its real cool that you are concerned with what the kids can do acedemically but what about this example.
derrik rose great player rookie of the year
plays for the bulls my hometown team
derrik rose is one of those players who could have went straight to the pros but the rules changing in 2003 prevented that...so what did rose do the quintessential one and done...now he's under investigation for academic fraud alleging that he cheated on the sat and had his grades changed...so what did he gain from going to college....the point that i make is that college will be there when your through with the nba but if you break a hand blow a knee or tear your acl the nba wont, and what will your degree in physical education afford you then compared to just one JUST ONE year in the nba...and thats regardless of if your a good player or not. if your not ready then the league will not pick you up.
to me this alliance between the ncaa and nba is unholy. its conjured up by the big heads at the pwc's so that they can win a championship on the backs of (rubs my arm) who they care nothing of educating. whats the point of going to college at all if your going to leave as a sophmore...man most of these cats stop coming to class the last couple of monts before they enter the draft...i do you feel you on the lance stephenson thing though cuz as a fan of the game thats breakin my heart...i blame his highschool coach for letting him fall by the wayside...but lance is good enough to go pro now but who knows what a year off or a year in the european legue's slow play will do to his game.
again one 1 year in the nba ONE YEAR even if your sorry and you can pay for tutors ged classes and college
think they don't say go to college for a year before the army or mcdonalds.
the way your thinking might be a good idea but the reality is far from that
