Message: <p>[QUOTE="Funafuti, post: 118630, member: 36305"]I absolutely understand the logic of wanting a player to stay in college in order to take advantage of the educational opportunity. If I had a son who was a college athlete I would definitely stress the benefits of the education being offered to them and ask that they think long and hard about that before they decide to leave school to play professionally. But mandating that 18-year-olds not be permitted to earn a living playing in the NBA even if they are clearly qualified to do so is bizarre. The window of opportunity for athletes is already limited at the back end by the aging process, so it seems unfair to me for the league to limit the front end as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p></p>
