It was a great read and I really liked the example he gave abt giving the kids a reason to stay in school, the fund for their parents and giving them a stipend. I'm really against the one and dones anyway i think if you enroll in college then you have to stay 3 years or be 21 years of age which would cut down on the number of kids going over seas. Why would they wanna go over seas and play till their 21 when they can stay and go to college maybe even graduate early and make it to the league in the same amount of time and family and friends be able to watch you play.

There should be NO elgibility requirement, especially one based on age. Why should a potential NBA athlete wait till they are 21? Major League Baseball does not require an athlete to be anything other than a High School graduate. That could be a 16 or 17 year old. We have professional Soccer, Gold and Tennis players that are 15-16 years old, youngest being a 14 year-old female tennis player.

Nah, I completely disagree with age being a factor! If they complete High School, they should be eligible to make their own career choice! Finally, if you want to argue anything, then argue the fact that if a school gives an athlete a scholarship, then that scholarship should be for four years, not just one that must be renewed each the following years at teh schools discretion!
