The time is right, the iron is hot. NBA is letting players go pro immediately. Next year the stakes go way down for paying a player (not eliminated).

Don't they understand that the NCAA will be just as popular if the top 25 athletes go straight to the pros?! If anything it might be more popular. The NCAA is not competing against the NBA. At all. Everyone knows if you want to see the greatest basketball players in the world you go to an NBA game. That will not change in any way. Make enforcement iron-clad.

There are ~325 DI teams. Each has ~12 scholarship athletes on average. That's 3,900 players. If the top 25 go straight to the NBA that's a reduction of 0.6%.

No one will even notice because it's the same difficulty as proving a universal negative: remember that AWESOME Kentucky team the year LeBron was a freshman? No? That's because he was never there. But you know what you do remember? _avier absolutely choking away a Final 4 Appearance and the 2003-2004 run by Ben Gordon and the UConn Huskies.
