Ok, so with the recent events that has happened with Noel in my eyes it has opened a conversation with the one and done rule. IMO, I believe that a kid isn't mature enough to handle the pressures out of high school; not physically but mentally. Also, you will have your superstars like Kobe and Lebron every 10 years but when you look at numbers as a whole, it really doesn't effect the overall nature of the beast (so a few superstars to go a year or two wouldn't hurt the overall picture). My argument would be how could we help this situation from happening? Noel will still go onto the NBA and have some money come his way but what about the ones who can't continue and not have the talent level to still achieve such goals? My rough draft solution is a small one but something that will open up a discussion to hear other thoughts. What if you took a certain percentage of the money generated every year (say 15%) from the athletic program and gave it back to players? You would have to play a certain amount of minutes with your time at the school; the longer you stay the more you earn. The money is set aside and the kids are open a fund for that money to go into. In the case of leaving early or injury the kids can pull the money out once they withdraw from school or earn a bonus for getting their degree. I know society is a "my kid should get a trophey to" days, but this is reality and I'm sorry but more are talented than others and honestly life isn't fair. Just an idea and could really get into depth but a broad picture and I would love to hear what others think. What are your ideas?
