a "fix" for 1 and done?

[purduehayseed]

here is my idea for a "fix":
tie a scholarship up for the full four years. (unless transfer, dismissal, etc.)
if a school recruits 2 or 3 "one and done" players, and they bolt to the pros....
those scholarships can't be used for the remaining years. that would stop a team like
kentucky (or any school) from loading up and always reloading. it would force the
coach to pick and choose - and spread the wealth.
this would also stop the "over-recruiting" that happens in football (SEC anybody?)
and, of course, creaning...

and before i am attacked because this is my first post,
i am a purdue grad (1985)
i sold programs at mackey in jr. high
and i damn near cried when the three amigos lost to KSU
and on my honeymoon - when whiskey beat keady to the final 4 in 2000...

anyway, thoughts on my idea?

No! Resounding no! You can't punish a team for not breaking any rules. It's an NBA rule, not an NCAA rule, so they have no grounds to punish teams. And you want to punish teams for getting better talent than others? Wow! This sounds like a everyone deserves a participation trophy post, no winners or losers, everyone gets a trophy for trying. Recruit better, win more games, develop players better. Don't cry to the NCAA that other teams have better players. Sure other schools have advantages over others, but so what? Life isn't fair, athletics especially. Sorry for the kinda harsh response, but people complaining that it's not fair is just ridiculous. I don't disagree, it's dumb to force these superstar athletes to "play college" for a year, but don't get upset with those that take advantage of it. Until the NBA adopts a rule like the MLB, there is nothing to be done.

Like tieing up the school for four years. Give one exception per year for transfers, guys declaring etc.
I don't like the draft idea. Would never fly anyways. The school choice should be based on what majors are offered etc. 95% of college athletes base their college choice on the degree they want.

You didn't cry after the upset in the Silverdome??? Yep, definitely a troll you first poster you

I proposed something similar three years ago. Even wrote the NCAA. Truth is the NCAA wants these guys because the student/athlete model is dead and gone. Not that there aren't many kids still doing it, but the NCAA is promoting sports, not education. Besides, from what we have seen, schools will just graduate kids in a couple of years with credit for life experiences and fake classes. So it really wouldn't solve anything.
