Coming straight out of high school could hinder their potential in the NBA or NFL because athletes will not be used to the high level of competition. If they stay in college for at least one year, then athletes can develop more skill and be more used to high level of competition. Also, if athletes are forced to stay in college, then the colleges will make money. With all the money the colleges make, they should pay players at least a little amount for their play and for making the teams popularity increase.  ]]> 2018-03-13 16:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241481227 https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241481303 I do not think the NBA and NFL rules are creating a trust-like environment because they are forcing players to either go to college or wait three years after graduating from high school. Players will not support those rules because most players fear from getting a serious injury from playing in college. Another reason is that athletes would want to play extra years in the NBA or the NFL.]]> 2018-03-13 16:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241481303 https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241481667 i think athletes should be required to complete 2 years of college because college football or basketball will prepare them for the future and how official games of the NFL and NBA are.

This is because, that person may excel in sports, but not their grades. Their grades do not define how well they play a specific sport. Also, if someone has a different plan after high school, such as not attending college, they shouldn't be cut from a team, because of their future plans.

I believe that if an athlete is extremely good, they should be able to go pro the year after they graduate from high school. For example, LeBron James went to the NBA after he graduated from high school. That was a crucial move for his career because he gets to achieve more records since he played more seasons in the NBA]]> 2018-03-13 16:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241482662 https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241483065 2018-03-13 16:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241483065 https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241483204 Dreams aren't always what you think they will be. So if you make it to nba or nfl you may not even like it and decide you want to do something else. But by that time you would have to start all over because you only have a high school level education. Therefore I think they should spend at least 2 years in college. ]]> 2018-03-13 16:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241483204 https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241483404 No, they are enforcing the education system upon them to be able to participate in professional sports.

The article states "Even though the eligibility rules are cloaked under the protection of collective bargaining agreements, I believe these restrictions should be struck down by courts as antitrust violations". They may have these types of agreements but antitrust violations are needed to promote order to always be stable as well. Without these violations being set it would create no limitations and if that was to play out it would be unfair to many strong athletic players.

They shouldn't be forced to spend massive amounts of money in college to learn material they won't need to know in an athletic career. If they go through financial struggles through college they might not even have the funds to provide for their family and parents before going off to basketball or football practice/tour. ]]> 2018-03-13 16:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241491225 https://padlet.com/rgoirn/lau40e4pavxe/wish/241491348 I think the athletes should have to wait 3 years after high school for their own benefit.

Of course athletes are going to get racial remarks from people who see them play but they still play and do their best. People of different races, religion and beliefs play on all kinds of teams in all kinds of countries.

There is a very good chance that many athletes are talented enough to make it into major leagues at the mere age of 18, and restricting them to go to college is illogical.
