April 8, 201511 yr I'll never get the argument that would prevent players from going to the NBA until a certain age/couple years in college. There are so many great stories about players who came from bad neighborhoods with absolutely no money that have made a better life for themselves and their families (D Rose, Melo, etc.). An age rule 1)delays the opportunity for the young men to make money and 2) increases the chances of them getting injured before they sign that contract. The same can be said for college football players but they must be three years removed from their graduating class before they can declare.

True, although I believe the difference between the necessary physical strength and speed for the NFL is much greater than that for the NBA. JMO.
April 8, 201511 yr I completely agree with that statement. You also don't see red shirts in basketball like you do in football. Again for the same reasons as you stated.
