Sorry for the sarcasm, and I hate what the NIL world has done to rosters at the collegiate level, but the colleges and universities own this problem more than any other group...
Simple rules like you get one free transfer. Not move anytime you want bullshit. These guys ain't the pros. It's sad what it's become in a short period of time.
Leave it the NBA and the NBAPA to come up with the worst possible rule that they could. It would have been so much simpler, and better, to either eliminate the requirement to wait one year or adopt the MLB rule that you could go straight to the pros or have to wait three years.
Instead, they came up with the worst possible solution. Now the NBA wants to apply the same logic that started the downward spiral to youth basketball.
It’s enough to make you think that they’re trying to intentionally ruin American basketball.
