Some good ideas in here

I'm hardly a fan of Calipari ... but I think he's tellling it like it is and has some good ideas about how to make the system better.

The subject is a sensitive one for Calipari. When asked about it Wednesday, he turned to the NCAA moderator and said, "How long can I -- can I expound on this a little bit? Am I allowed to?"

Yes and yes.

So he did, saying that the NCAA should provide players with "the stipend they deserve." He also said that the NCAA ought to foot the bill for those Lloyd's of London-type injury insurance policies purchased by the families of qualified college players.

"The NCAA should pay that to encourage [the players] to stay," Calipari said.

He said the NCAA and the NBA should co-sponsor a loan program for the families of the top 30 or so players in the country. And he said that the NBA players union should endorse a plan that would reward a college star for staying in school at least two years (his rookie contract would be shorter) or for a diploma (a higher pay scale upon joining the NBA).

"Now we encourage these young people," Calipari said. "It's about them."

Actually ... I'm just trying to keep my mind busy until game time. I'm going nuts. :wow:
 
I thought Coach Cal was spot on.

It's going to take the NCAA and NBA working together to make this happen.

Simplest solution would be the baseball rule. Go pro out of high school or you must wait 3 years to enter the draft.
