Are eligibility requirements mandatory areas of bargaining to avoid antitrust violations? I can't remember.
Yes.

Why should the NCAA care about losing a few kids a couple million dollars out of tens of millions of dollars, instead of focusing on the thousands of kids who leave collegiate sports unprepared to support themselves bc they were never given time to academically adjust to college? Or they were encouraged to get the HS diploma equivalent of a degree in order to stay eligible.
Football sits out freshmen players every year, so they can mature physically and academically. Seems to be working out for them.
On a different note, if I was the father of a top HS prospect who was a one-and-done candidate I'd tell him to go to Europe instead. Learning to be a professional in your chosen profession, while living a baller lifestyle in the Mediterranean at the age of 18, sign me up.
Why go play pretend at college.
Is there a rampant problem of kids not being able to juggle college basketball and academics? Funny, they aren't worried about swimmers and wrestlers and lacrosse players juggling sports and academics as freshmen.
So Brasky would prefer Greek chicks over Austin chicks?

Actually, yes. Just google "college athletes failing after school" and go crazy. Here is one article:
http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/National_News_2/article_101937.shtml
Of the Division I men’s basketball teams that were in the Sweet 16 tournament earlier this year, the graduation rate of White male student athletes was 98 percent, for Black male student athletes, it was an abysmal 55 percent according to The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports (TIDES). The institute located at the University of Central Florida, is headed by Dr. Richard Lapchick.
brasky is defs the biggest DONK.
Pretending their isn't an enormous racial divide between the way black and white student athletes are handled isn't going to make the problem go away.
You're telling me an extra year, where the focus is only on getting students academically adjusted to school, wouldn't help to address this inequality enormously? What say yee professor?
Just using it for its stats Numbers. Don't give two fucks about the opinions in it. Here's another number for you stat geeks:
The study found that black men made up just 2.8 percent of full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students, but an overrepresented 57.1 percent of the football team members and 64.3 percent of male basketball players. The study identified dozens of institutions in Division I, such as Marquette University (77 percent) and the University of Miami (72.4 percent) where more than two-thirds of the black undergraduate men on the campus were athletes and some schools where more than half were athletes.
More alarming, 49.8 percent of black male student-athletes at these schools don’t graduate within six years
