Besides the NBA, the NFL is the simply major sports organizations that will prohibits players from entrance until a prescribed period after high school graduation (3 years after high school graduation in the NFL). The NFL's rule was challenged by Maurice Clarett and the NFL won at the appellate level. The Supreme Court declined to hear Clarett's case, hence, a NBA players could still theoretically challenge the NBA rule and win. Apparently, there are not any lawyers out there that think the chances are good enough or else someone would challenged it the very last couple of years. What if the NBA made their rule identical to the NFL. Would someone then challenge it? Would this specific be better than the current principle?
It seems like there are 3 options for the NBA: no principle (the old rule), the existing rule, or an NFL-like-rule. I think none of them are ideal and also that it is unclear which one is best. With no rule, too many 17 and 18 year-old kids, who have all been told that they are the second coming of Michael Jordan and Lebron James since they were 12 years-old, go straight to the NBA when they should not have. (As a side note, this was not best for college basketball, but that is another presssing issue. ) With the current rule, the particular NBA prospects go to imagine college for one year (what was the point? ) and some of the players come out too soon still. A NFL-like-rule seems unfair on the elite players - throughout others sports 18 year-olds can play professionally; additionally , professional basketball does not acquire as much physical maturity while professional football. Nothing would seem right.
Brandon Jennings, the very best rated point guard coming out of secondary school, is considering playing in Europe if he is not eligible to play at Arizona this full year. On one hand it makes sense, in contrast, it makes all of this more confusing even. Does anyone have a answer to this mess?
