Done with one and done

There has been much talk lately about whether the NBA should do away with the current eligibility rule and allow players to join the league right out of college. There are valid arguments to both sides. On one side, the argument is that: 1) If a high school star has the talent, he deserves to be payed for it, and college doesn't offer pay to their student-athletes. 2)many disagree with the one and done rule because they feel that one year of college isn't enough time to develop anyway so it's pointless. On the other side, the arguments include: 1) it's very rare for NBA rookies, strait out of high school to make an immediate impact in the NBA. (LeBron being an exception) Many just feel that the current rule is stupid and that it should either be strait out of high school or should require two years of college to allow the players to develop. In my opinion high school seniors should be allowed to declare for the draft. That being said a possible compromise could be, making an an incentive for going to college for one, two, three, and four years. Maybe the NBA could create an algorithm to calculate a contract bonus based on the number of years a player plays in college. Even if not, the decision should be that of the high school senior whether or not he wants to go to college or straight to the big leagues. They're aware of the risks. They can make the decision.
