If you are a college sports fan, then I can see why you would be for this. But who's right is it to determine what is the consensual age. The only reason there is an age limit today is due to the fact that greedy parents and agents are lying to kids today about their worth, but the NBA has proven that players can make pros at the age of 18, we have too many in the NBA today to dispute that.
This is the John Wall or Enes Kanter rule change!
Why should there be an age limit? There should be better prospecting and a process that tells potential draftees of their legitimate chances, but no age limit. It works in other sports like Hockey, Tennis, Golf, and Baseball. Look at the Olympics. No matter how you cut it, these athletes are professional if they are competing in the Olympics. The time, the commitment and the amount of money they can earn for training purposes for sports like swimming, skating, gymnastics, etc. makes these athletes every bit as much of a professional than those who compete as legit professionals. These kids don't go to school, they live on the road in training facilities in places like Denver and Indianapolis. Yet, no one complains when they see 15 year old on a balance beam.
Nah, if professional sports polices the process better, there should be no age limit in anything in life. No matter what your profession is, whether it's a Systems Programmer, a Volunteer Firefighter, or an NBA Basketball player, no age descrimination!
