Mark Cuban on "One and Done" Players

Cuban's comments on 'one-and-done' seem wrong in a billion ways

Cuban instead chose to aim his dagger at the colleges, which he accused of hypocrisy for accepting players who quite possibly — in some cases quite likely — will not remain for more than a year before entering the draft.


I agree with Mark Cuban 100% on this matter.

I understand that the one and done rule was created by the NBA and the NBA Players Association. They negotiated the minimum age of 19 rule and the NCAA has lived with that.

POn the other hand, the NCAA has allowed college coaches seeking to win and win only, to sabotage the meaning of student-athlete and and seeking an education.

I would love to see the NCAA come down and eliminate the "one and done" rule on their end. Close the loop hole. Let the NBA spend their money to create a "D" league-a developmental league.

“We don’t have to pretend,” Cuban said. “A major college has to pretend that they’re treating them like a student-athlete, and it’s a big lie and we know it’s a big lie. At least at most schools, not all.”

I would like to see it like baseball does. You get drafted in high school and go if you want. If not, you can get drafted again after your junior year. Kentucky has turned the word scholar athlete into a joke.......
