They could do like hockey and baseball and draft them. If you don't like the position, you go back to college.The NBA and NCAA are screwing the kids over. They could let them play in D league for a week before the draft to see if they want to draft him.
Ed Martin took care of his family.I remember Chris Webber telling a story of how he would walk around campus at Michigan and see students wearing his jersey that was selling on campus for like 100$, and he was lucky to have enough money in his pocket to eat at McDonald's

I think once he signs a contract he's done. If not, that could really get abused.the best thing is should favor the kid. Let him back in NCAA if he does not make it.
How many early draft picks did not shine in the NBA because they played for a bad team or does that help them score points? Nobody, pulls the Eli Manning - "not playing for those guys" routine. Could you pull off a negotiation with, say the Knicks, Can you trade me someplace else??? At draft time?
I would have told Eli Manning. " Go drive a Taxi"
This is a unique situation given the potential shoe money. Shoe money crushes rookie contract money and LSU recruitment money.All this talk about sitting out/not to sit out is not a fair comparison with a college bowl game. Most of the bowl games are meaningless exhibitions unless the team is in a playoff. Football is a much more violent sport than basketball. I understand why some guys skip the bowl games. These basketball games are not meaningless, they are still playing in the regular for a title/seeding in tournaments I don't see any reason a player should sit to protect his future. at this stage

I get the system is broken but paying college players will just create more problems. I dont know the answers. All I know is I want to see Zion come the big dance. It would be a shame if he isnt.
AgreeIf he told Coach K - I am done! But Coach K says - Let;s conceal that to get a better seed in the Big Dance? Been jerking around everybody for quite a few games by saying he might play the next game, etc. If he does not show up the first game of the ACC it is time to stick a fork in him this year.
F the kids, i dont go to games cuz of kids, i have gone to games to see a coach, i went to see max good, but not since he left. Charlie coles, stu Morrill, the kids can go g leauge if want to be paidThe NBA and NCAA are screwing the kids over.

Webber was a Mich St fan until he met Ed Martin.That's a funny story. Weber and the rest of the Fab 5 had more money while on campus than most professors.
Didnt the investigation into ed martin show that he funneled 150k to webber's family? That can buy a lot of McDonald'sWebber was a Mich St fan until he met Ed Martin.
Too much torque
Yes and yes. He was a GM plant bookie.Ed Martin also hooked up Tractor Trailer
I think he died while being investigated. Was juicy story, maybe Martin was a bookie I don't remember.
Bingo!
And, unlike LeBron, there's zero finesse to Zion's game.
