why stop with just 4 years of eligibility, why not let a Jimmer who isn't good enough to make it in the NBA but can dominate in college play for 10 years.
I get that colleges are sticking it to the kids. Ever since big money could be made, this has been happening. How about instead of paying them a fortune now, they give them a pension that kicks in when they are 50. But to get it, you have to stay 3 years at your college.
Let this high school minor league happen. That's going to fizzle fast. Nobody is going to pay to watch them play unless the NBA decides its a good place to stash their "prospects"
