IMHO K is absolutely right on both counts.
Kids should be able to go straight to the NBA out of high school if they wish.
Kids who go to college should take it seriously.
The current system helps the NBA. It gives them a year to evaluate players against college players. Television promotes the players for them.
The NCAA acts like they are powerless to deal with the NBA. Personally I would like see freshmen not be eligible for varsity play. Won't happen.
