That's kind of what happens now, if they don't hire an agent then see where they might be drafted. Having the best players for at least two years can only help the vast majority of the players in the long run, the college and pro game. Can you imagine what great college basketball the fans would have missed if Jordan, Ewing, Bird, Magic, Hakeem left after 1 year?

Yea, but the difference with my plan is the player would enter and go through the draft (without signing an agent). Then, if he goes undrafted, he can rejoin the college team. Under the current rule, once the player crosses the date line and formally declares, he is done, whether he gets drafted or not. I say take it one more level and allow him to be in the draft. If he gets drafted, he loses his college amateur eligibility and the NBA teams owns his rights. If he does not get drafted, then he still has his college eligibility. Seems harmless to me!

I get the difference but either way the best players are playing college ball 1 year.
